Scholarships at AVU

Scholarships at Azione Verde University

Azione Verde University is committed to ensuring that no qualified student is denied access to higher education because of financial need. We provide a number of scholarship and bursary support channels to recognise academic excellence, ease financial hardship, and reward community service.

Types of support available

• Merit-based scholarships — awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance in their UTME, Post-UTME, and end-of-session results.
• Need-based bursaries — for students from low-income households who can demonstrate genuine financial hardship.
• Sponsored scholarships — funded by external donors, faith-based organisations, alumni, and corporate partners.
• Grants — non-repayable awards for specific categories of students (e.g. orphans, persons with disabilities, internally displaced persons).
• Emergency support — short-term financial assistance for students facing unforeseen hardship during a session.
