Indomie Scholarship Programme for Undergraduates 2026: Application Process
Written by Admin | 17 Aug 2026
If you're a Nigerian student about to start university, polytechnic, or college of education in the 2026/2027 academic session, there's a scholarship worth putting at the top of your list: the Indomie Scholarship Programme 2026, run by Dufil Prima Foods, the makers of Indomie noodles.
It offers full tuition coverage, is completely free to apply for, and renews every year you stay in school, as long as you keep your grades up. Here's everything you need to know, from eligibility to how to submit your application before the deadline closes.
What the Scholarship Covers
The headline benefit is simple but powerful:
Full tuition fees are covered for the entire duration of your programme; you're not paying for school fees out of pocket.
Automatically renewable every academic year, as long as you maintain the required GPA. This means it's not a one off award; it can carry you from year one to graduation.
Open to (almost) every kind of public institution, universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other specialised public or state owned schools all qualify, and there's no restriction to a narrow list of "approved" courses.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the 2026 Indomie Scholarship, you need to meet the following:
Be a Nigerian student who is entering tertiary education for the 2026/2027 academic session; this is specifically for new admissions, not returning students.
Have secured (or be securing) admission into a public or state owned institution, university, polytechnic, or college of education.
Have your WAEC/NECO and JAMB results; though you don't need these on hand to start your application, you can register first and upload them later.
Register before the application deadline.
A nice touch here: the portal supports two sittings, so if you're combining WAEC and NECO results, you can enter both.
How to Apply
The application is completely free; Indomie is explicit that you should never pay anyone or any platform to apply. Here's the process, broken into four simple steps:
Visit the Official Application Portal: Go to the official application page and click "I Am a New Applicant" to begin your registration.
Fill in Your Personal Details: You'll be asked for basic information: your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and state of origin. You'll also need to upload a passport photograph; you can even snap one live using your phone camera if you don't have a formal photo ready.
Upload Your Academic Results: Add your JAMB and O-level (WAEC/NECO) results. Don't have them yet? No problem; you can skip this step for now and log back into your account to update your results any time before the deadline.
Verify and Submit: Confirm your email or phone number, then hit submit. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a Computer Based Test (CBT), and successful CBT candidates will go through physical verification as the final stage before selection.
With rising tuition costs and living expenses weighing on Nigerian families, a fully funded, renewable scholarship from a household brand like Indomie is a genuinely valuable opportunity, especially since it's free to apply and doesn't require you to already have your results in hand to get started.
If you or someone you know is heading into university, polytechnic, or college of education this coming session, it's worth setting aside ten minutes to register before August 31, 2026.
