British American Tobacco Nigeria (BATN)/ BAT Iseyin Agronomy (BATIA Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme ) 2013/2014
invites qualified Nigerian undergraduates for applications into the
2013/2014 Scholarship Scheme.
The Scholarship Scheme is one of our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives to promote
skilled manpower development in Nigeria's Agricultural sector.
In 2005, the scope of the Scholarship Scheme was expanded to include
eligible students from across the country. This expansion was based on
stakeholder expectations raised at a stakeholder dialogue session. Ten
eligible students are awarded scholarships every year for the duration
of their study, with five slots reserved for eligible children of BAT
registered tobacco farmers.
In the event that the
farmers' children do not meet the eligibility requirements, those five
slots are opened up to candidates from tobacco leaf growing communities
(not farmers' children). In the event that they also do not meet the
eligibility requirements, the five slots are opened up to candidates
from other parts of Oyo State.
However, students who
are children of BAT registered tobacco farmers are now being given the
opportunity to apply for other courses asides from Agriculture.
