Another 30 scholarships will be awarded to five candidates from each of the six geo-political zones of the country under the university’s regional scholarships programme. Winners of the JAMB-based scholarships will be selected based on results of the 2015 UTME, while the regional scholarships winners will be selected primarily based on their performance on the 2015 national scholarship examinations.
