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.

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.

accredited U.S. college or university and conduct research in areas of interest to the DOE. The summer
