This is only open to students from the host communities. They include indigenes of Akwa Ibom, Imo State, and Rivers State.

This is a national merit scholarship for Nigerian undergraduates open to non-indigenes of the host communities. You can apply for this category if you are not from Imo, Rivers, or Akwa Ibom state.
