🚨 Having trouble logging in?
If the page keeps reloading, try using a different browser or switching your data network.

📌UNDERSTANDING YOUR DASHBOARD
Once logged in, your dashboard will display 3 FLIP BOXES (Clicking it gives you more information & action)
🔹 ENROL – Where you complete your application.
🔹 REFER – For referring friends and getting incentives.
🔹 PRE-SELECTION – Updates on your application status.
3. ENROL
This is the Most Important Step in your scholarship application. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
✅ What to do:
Provide your Personal, Academic, Family, and Expenditure information.
Ensure all details are truthful and accurate—they will be verified.
⚠️ Failure to complete this step means your application is INCOMPLETE!
4. REFER
We encourage you to REFER your friends/classmates who may need financial support.
🎁 Referral Benefits:
Successful referrals can earn you incentives like data or airtime.
Winners are randomly selected from all those who refer others. Higher points means higher chances of bigger incentives.
✅ What to do if your referral status doesn’t change to green after 24hrs:
Visit the Referral Page and take a screenshot of your referral entries.
Send a message to our official WhatsApp support line (available on the Contact Page).
Include your screenshot, email address, and the date you completed the referrals.
A support staff member will review and assist you.
📌 Naira & Sense Series
While waiting for Pre-Selection, you MUST go through the Naira & Sense Series. It is now compulsory to help applicants with financial management and risk/budgeting skills.
📚 Why is this important?
✅ It is compulsory for all applicants.
✅ Test questions based on this series carry more marks in the Aptitude Test.
✅ It equips you with valuable financial knowledge to help you manage money effectively.
📖 Access the Naira & Sense Series HERE and make sure you absorb the insights provided.
5. PRE-SELECTION
You have no control over the Pre-Selection Flip Box. You cannot manually update the box. It will remain orange until your status changes.
✅ Possible Status Updates:
- Pre-Selected – You will be invited for an Aptitude Test and document verification. (Both are FREE!)
- Wait-List – Your status may change to Pre-Selected later, depending on availability.
- Ineligible – You do not qualify for the scholarship.
⚠️ Your status will change in due time. To ensure you do not miss this important update, we advice you to regularly check your DASHBOARD for updates.

🛑 Don’t wait! Complete your application, go through the Naira & Sense Series and stay informed.

Final Note:
Keeping your information updated and engaging with the Naira & Sense Series will not only strengthen your application but also boost your chances in the selection process. Regularly check your dashboard and email for further updates throughout your application journey.
We wish you the best of luck and look forward to supporting you every step of the way!
