The fintech firm plans to add 16 more institutions by the end of 2026, bringing the total to 41 schools nationwide. The initiative, part of OPay’s broader Scholars Programme that also includes the National Innovation Challenge with Google and 3MTT and the OPay Futures project, aims to provide sustained financial support to thousands of Nigerian students struggling with tuition and living costs. By committing to a decade-long investment, OPay says it is betting on Nigeria’s future—helping students become professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators, teachers, engineers, tech experts, healthcare workers and leaders. While the announcement does not specify individual award amounts or application procedures, it signals a long-term commitment to education beyond one-off donations. For students and families, the expanding network means more opportunities to access reliable tuition assistance as the programme scales across universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
