📌 Mentor4Scholars Advisory: What Smart Applicants Should Know
The Selar Tuition Fund 2026, powered by the Smart Hustle Initiative, is designed to support Nigerian students facing financial pressure in their education journey. In this edition, ₦10 million will support 150 students, including 50 final-year university/polytechnic students receiving ₦100,000 each and 100 SS3 students receiving ₦50,000 each to support WAEC/JAMB preparation.
While the financial support is valuable, the application process requires more than just filling out a form. The selection committee evaluates academic performance, financial need, and the clarity of the applicant’s personal statement, often submitted through a short video explanation.
At Mentor4Scholars, we encourage applicants to treat the video statement as the most important part of the application. Instead of repeating your grades, focus on explaining your educational journey, the financial challenges you face, and how the grant will help you complete your studies successfully.
Also remember that this is a competitive opportunity reviewed by an independent committee, meaning thousands of students may apply for limited slots.
A thoughtful application—clear documents, a sincere video message, and accurate academic records—can significantly improve your chances of being shortlisted.
