The Aliko Dangote Foundation has announced a ₦300 million funding programme aimed at supporting postgraduate students at the Dangote Business School. The initiative is designed to empower individuals who will drive enterprise, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth across Nigeria.
The scholarship programme covers both new and returning students. Newly admitted students will benefit from automatic tuition reductions during registration, while returning students who have already paid in full will receive rebates. The allocation is structured to accommodate all eligible postgraduate students based on the current enrolment capacity, ensuring broad access to the opportunity.
Strengthening Academic Infrastructure and Digital Capacity
Any unutilised funds from the first year will remain within the Dangote Business School development envelope. These resources will be used to enhance learning infrastructure and digital academic capacity, supporting long-term improvements in the academic environment and the overall student experience.
This approach aligns with the school’s commitment to creating a modern, technology-enabled learning space that equips postgraduate students with the skills necessary to thrive in business, entrepreneurship, and management.
