If you are a Nigerian undergraduate looking for financial support to ease your university education, this is one opportunity you do not want to miss. The Renaissance African Energy Company Limited, operator of the NNPC/Renaissance/TotalEnergies/AENR Joint Venture, has opened applications for the 2026 NNPC-Renaissance JV University Scholarship.
The scholarship is designed to promote academic excellence among young Nigerians and offers a yearly educational grant to successful applicants for the entire duration of their undergraduate programme.
Who Can Apply
The scholarship runs in two categories. The first is the National Merit Award, which is open to all Nigerians. The second is the Areas of Operation Merit Award, which is specifically for indigenes of Renaissance’s operational areas in Bayelsa, Delta, Imo, and Rivers States.
To be eligible, you must be a Nigerian citizen currently registered as a full-time undergraduate in an accredited Nigerian university. You must also be in 200 Level with proof of admission into an undergraduate programme for the 2024/2025 academic session. Importantly, you must not be receiving any other scholarship from any entity operating in the oil and gas industry, whether local or international.
Documents You Will Need
Before starting your application, ensure you have clear scanned copies of the following documents ready for upload:

- Your JAMB result
- Your 2024/2025 transcript (100 Level result), and
- a letter of identification from your state showing your Local Government of Origin.
Each document must not exceed 200KB and must be saved in JPEG format. Make sure each file is named clearly to avoid any mix-up during upload.
