₦250,000 Insight Scholarship Opens for Undergraduate Pharmacy Students in Nigeria
Applications have opened for the 2026 edition of the Insight Scholarship Award, a ₦250,000 support programme targeted at undergraduate pharmacy students studying in Nigerian universities.

The Insight Scholarship is an annual initiative focused on strengthening the next generation of pharmacists in Nigeria. It combines financial support with mentorship and professional exposure, helping selected students stay focused on their studies and career development.

The Insight Scholarship Award was created by members of the Class of 2005, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, with support from the Pharmaceutical Association of Nigerian Students at the national level. The organisers say the award is meant to honour students who represent the future of pharmacy practice in Nigeria, not just through grades but through character, service, and innovation.
