Multiple outlets report that several fully funded scholarship programmes for Nigerians are scheduled to open for applications in August 2026. Coverage highlights Chevening as one of the main opportunities, alongside other international scholarships that include programmes referenced as the Open Doors Russian Scholarship and the Knight-Hennessy (and at least one report also mentions a Stanford-linked scholarship opportunity and a US scholarship). The articles describe these awards as offering funding intended to support Nigerian applicants, and they emphasize that prospective candidates should review each programme’s eligibility requirements before applying. They also outline that application procedures will involve standard steps such as submitting required forms and supporting documents, and they advise applicants to plan around programme deadlines for the August 2026 application window. While the exact dates, eligibility criteria, and document lists are presented as programme-specific, the sources agree on the overall message: Nigerians seeking international postgraduate or other eligible study opportunities have multiple scholarship options opening in August 2026, and should follow the application guidance provided by each scholarship provider.
