Scholarships for Nigerian Women and Girls
With estimates of the literacy rate for women in Nigeria reaching above 50%, the disparity in basic
education enrollment, retention and completion among girls in Nigeria represents a serious constraint
to its development.
Educating girls is widely viewed as the most effective investment a developing country can make. In
fact, the United Nations Population Fund maintains that a 0.3 percent boost in economic growth results
from a 1 percent increase in the number of girls finishing secondary school. Since per capita gains in
developing countries seldom exceed 3 percent a year, that's a very significant boost.
In an effort to help eliminate some of the barriers that discourage or exclude girls from the benefits of
basic and advanced education, PCNAF established its first scholarship program for Nigerian girls in
2003. The scholarship recipients were selected from each of the six regions of Nigeria, giving the
program national scope. The program targeted girls enrolled in the final level of junior secondary
school (grade 9), and supported the scholarship winners for the full three years needed to complete
their secondary school education. Fifteen girls received scholarships through that program.
Building upon the success of the inaugural program, PCNAF currently sponsors three scholarship
programs for female Nigerian students: one for secondary school girls in northern Nigeria, and two for
college students (one for students in the United States, and another program for students in Nigeria).
Nigerian Girls Scholarship Program
This program provides financial assistance to needy girls entering senior secondary school in six states
in northern Nigeria, where only 4 percent of females complete secondary school. The program
supports the scholarship recipients for the three years that it takes for them to graduate. Each scholar is
chosen on the basis of her academic record, financial need and service to her community. PCNAF is
collaborating with the Kano-based Inclusive Community Education and Development Association
(ICEADA) to implement the program.
Young Women's Scholarship Program
The Young Women's Scholarship Program is for female Nigerian undergraduate college students in
the metropolitan Washington, DC area. It was created in an effort to help ease the financial burden of
students with outstanding academic and leadership potential that are facing difficulties finding the
money to stay in school because they have an international student visa. These students are not
allowed to seek outside employment to finance their education. The program provides financial
support to young women entering their junior or senior year at a participating college or university.
2017 Application
Robert Pastor PCNAF-FON Nigerian Female Leaders Scholarship
PCNAF has partnered with Friends of Nigeria (FON) and American University of Nigeria (AUN) to
create a scholarship program at AUN that is administered as part of the President's Crisis Fund. The
purpose of this fund is to provide assistance to AUN students who experience sudden, unexpected
financial problems. Students in need of such emergency support are evaluated on a case by case basis
by the AUN President and Vice President for Finance to determine which students are most deserving.
In addition to need, the focus is on students who have a strong academic record as well as significant
participation in community service. The scholarship program targets female students from northern
Nigeria who meet these criteria.

Scholarships to Help International Students Afford U.S. Colleges

Every year, thousands of students from nearly every continent flock to campuses across the U.S. to
earn their degrees and take what they’ve learned back home. If you hail from another country and have
always wanted to study in America, you don’t have to be rich to achieve your goal.
Though most of your scholarship funding will probably come from your chosen college, there are a
handful of more general scholarships geared specifically toward students from around the globe.

NEHA / AAS Scholarship
http://www.neha.org/professional-development/students/scholarship
Available to applicants pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Health or Postgraduate Degree
in Environmental Health Sciences
Sponsored by:
National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) Logo American Academy of Sanitarians Logo
Both the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) and the American Academy of
Sanitarians (AAS) have established education in environmental health (EH) as one of their principle
goals. NEHA and AAS believe that structured education at the undergraduate and graduate levels is
important to an individual’s successful professional development in the EH field and that continuing
education is a vital component in an EH professional’s continued career growth.
As a result, the NEHA Board of Directors established a scholarship fund in 1984 that began with a gift
of $1000 from Dr. A. Harry Bliss, a NEHA Past-President, and personal donations from NEHA Board
Members. Because of their strong belief in scholarship programs, AAS also made a financial donation
to the NEHA program, allowing NEHA to increase the number of undergraduate scholarships
awarded. As the program grew, NEHA offered scholarships to both undergraduate and graduate
students pursuing studies in the EH field. In 1996, NEHA and AAS decided to jointly fund
undergraduate and graduate EH scholarships and call them the NEHA/AAS Scholarships. Funding for
the scholarships is continually obtained from donations, proceeds from association fund-raisers and
NEHA/AAS budget commitments. By offering the NEHA/AAS Scholarships to eligible undergraduate
and graduate students, NEHA and AAS hope to positively contribute to the future of Environmental
Health.

ATTENTION GRADUATE STUDENTS
DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship
http://www.krellinst.org/csgf/about-doe-csgf/eligibility-program-requirements
The DOE CSGF is open to U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens who plan full-time, uninterrupted
study toward a Ph.D. at an accredited U.S. university. We encourage applications from students in
engineering and the physical, computer, mathematical or life sciences who meet the following
eligibility requirements. The fellowship provides four years of support, but must be renewed each
summer.
ELIGIBILITY
The following criteria will be used to determine the eligibility of those applying for DOE CSGF. At
the time of application, eligibility will apply to:
Undergraduate seniors
Applicants with no more than B.S. or B.A. degrees who are not enrolled in graduate school
First-year graduate students (M.S. degree or Ph.D. students without an M.S. degree)
During the fellowship period, fellows are required to be enrolled as full-time graduate students at an
accredited U.S. college or university and conduct research in areas of interest to the DOE. The summer
should be spent conducting full-time research related to the completion of one's degree program,
enrolled in classes or on a practicum assignment.
This equal opportunity program is open to all qualified persons without regard to race, gender,
religion, age, physical disability or national origin.
FREEDOM TO FOCUS ON RESEARCH
The DOE CSGF program's support allows students to focus on academics and research without
excessive teaching or other departmental support activities. The fellow’s department must waive any
teaching requirements beyond one term.
ANNUAL RENEWAL AND AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS
Fellows must renew their appointment each year by submitting an online application that
demonstrates:
Their academic performance is acceptable
They're progressing toward completing the approved program of study
They've completed a practicum
They're conducting research in areas of interest to the DOE
The fellow's status and how much funds are expected to be available can affect the award's length.
The DOE attempts to provide adequate funding to meet the costs of graduate school. Therefore the
Krell Institute must approve in advance additional graduate responsibilities, such as a teaching
assistantship. Fellows may accept scholarships, prizes and other payments (including veteran’s
benefits) that do not require a service.
