The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) began the 2025/2026 NDDC Foreign Post-Graduate Scholarship on March 24, 2025 as a completely funded program to support Niger Delta graduates in gaining admission to master’s programs at renowned international universities.
The application period began on this date and concluded exactly four weeks later on April 21, 2025 according to the official announcement from NDDC. The scholarship program targets young talent from Nigeria’s oil-producing region to develop advanced skills for significant involvement in local economic projects and their selected professional fields while requiring all applications to be submitted online at http://www.nddc.gov.ng.
The Application Process for the NDDC Foreign Post-Graduate Scholarship 2025/2026
Step-by-Step Application Process
1) The application process starts on the official NDDC website http://www.nddc.gov.ng on March 24, 2025.
2) Obtain a master’s program acceptance letter from a qualified overseas institution like University of Salford before March 31 since UK universities frequently admit Nigerian students for September entry after initial deadlines.
3) By April 10, collect required documents: You need a new passport photo from a studio along with a Local Government ID issued by your local government authority to apply.
4) Upload all by April 21, 2025, 11: No late entries will be accepted after 11:59 PM WAT
5) when the registration number is created; participants must print the acknowledgment page for records.
According to previous cycles, shortlisting will appear by May 15 on the NDDC site while June will host CBTs across Niger Delta states with exact venues to be announced later. During July interviews candidates will demonstrate field expertise and motivation and successful participants will receive their assignment notices by August 1 for programs that begin in September 2025 or January 2026.

In 2024 one thousand candidates competed for two hundred available slots through the NDDC (contact [email protected] for assistance). In this digital competition every action holds significance while precise timing remains essential.
The timeline’s tight but manageable. The CBT takes place at specific centers in Port Harcourt or Uyo while interviews could occur in Abuja. Applicants who don’t receive any communication after the shortlist announcement should understand silence as rejection and monitor the site consistently. The 28-day window between announcement and deadline demands precise planning to secure a spot in the 2025 cohort
