The application is entirely free; anyone asking for payment to register, upload results, or be shortlisted is not part of the genuine programme

Scoped tightly to new intake, not continuing students

This is scoped tightly to new intake, not continuing students: it funds only applicants entering a Nigerian public or state-owned university, polytechnic, college of education, or specialised institution for the first time in the 2026/2027 session. Someone already partway through a degree cannot apply for this round.

A registration process more forgiving than most, and what comes after

The registration process is more forgiving than most: you can start with just personal details and a passport photo, taken live with a phone camera if needed, then come back to upload your WAEC/NECO and JAMB results before the deadline, which lowers the barrier to at least getting into the pipeline before you have every document in hand. The application even supports combining results from up to two WAEC or NECO sittings in one submission. From there, shortlisted applicants sit a Computer-Based Test, and successful candidates go through physical verification before anything is finalised.

The deadline keeps moving, and the latest site redesign dropped it entirely

This programme’s deadline has already moved once, from 31 August to 30 September 2026, shown at the time by a live countdown on the site. As of October 2026 the site has been redesigned again and that countdown, along with any stated date, is gone; the application portal is still live and accepting new registrations regardless. Given the pattern so far, treat any date you see elsewhere as provisional and register as soon as you can rather than wait for a fixed deadline to approach. Coverage itself is straightforward: full tuition at a public or state-owned institution, renewed automatically each year the required GPA is maintained, no separate reapplication needed.

This costs nothing, at every step

Indomie’s own FAQ is explicit that the application is completely free and that no payment is ever required, worth stating plainly given how often scholarship applications at this scale attract impersonators asking for registration or processing fees; see the guide to spotting a scholarship scam for the wider pattern. If anyone asks you to pay to register, upload results, or move forward in the process, that is not the genuine Indomie programme.
