The NDDC foreign scholarship portal opened three days ago. Most eligible students still don't know.

The Niger Delta Development Commission opened its 2026/2027 foreign scholarship portal on March 23.

It won't stay open long. It never does.

This is one of the few functional pathways for students from Niger Delta states to access government-funded overseas education. It's also one of the most consistently under-publicised. The people who need it most find out after the window closes. Students in communities without strong alumni networks. Students whose parents don't read the right newsletters.

If you have family or know students from Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo, or Rivers, this is the alert. The portal is open now. Check the NDDC website directly and verify the deadline before the week is out.

Passing this on is the thing.
