The American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, is offering scholarships to young students in Nigeria and other African countries in celebration of its 20th anniversary.
The university administration announced today that the scholarship awards reaffirm the institution’s commitment to offering quality education to deserving students, regardless of their economic or social background.
President of AUN, Dr. DeWayne P. Frazier, described the scholarships as a welcome development that aims at motivating young Nigerians to choose to earn their first degree in their home country before seeking to further their education abroad, adding that AUN offers the same quality global education as obtained overseas at a fraction of the cost.
President Frazier also stated that it is a further gesture of appreciation to the many AUN parents and alumni whose faith and belief in the university’s philosophy have become its most valuable assets.
“We are thrilled to offer the new 20th Anniversary Tuition Scholarships in celebration of the two decades of the American University of Nigeria.
Benefits
Under the scholarship terms, incoming students will receive tuition fee discounts ranging from 10% to 50%, depending on the program they enroll in. The programs in Nursing, and Public Health and Engineering – Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, and Telecommunications Engineering, are offering the most substantial discounts.
These scholarships aim at recognizing the outstanding achievements of our students as well as bolstering opportunities for more enrollment across the nation and the African Continent. We are urging students to take advantage of this new program as there will never be a time that the university fees are this competitively priced. Help us celebrate our 20th Anniversary at AUN!
