The Nigerian Women Association of Georgia (NWAG) is excited to open applications for its 2024 scholarship program, aimed at supporting Nigerian female undergraduates. This scholarship is part of NWAG’s ongoing commitment to promoting the education and empowerment of women in Nigeria.

The scholarship is available to students in any field of study, providing funds that can be used to cover tuition fees, books, and other academic-related expenses. NWAG awards one scholarship per state, ensuring that women from every region of Nigeria have the opportunity to benefit from this initiative.

The application process involves submitting a completed application form, a recent passport photograph, a copy of the applicant’s university ID, and an official transcript. In addition, candidates are required to write two essays: the first should explain why they are applying for the scholarship and why they believe they deserve it, while the second essay should address a significant issue affecting women in Nigeria today.
