British American Tobacco Nigeria (BATN) , in conjunction
with British American Tobacco Iseyin Agronomy (BATIA) invites applications from
qualified Nigerian undergraduates, for the 2013/2014 Scholarship Scheme.
The Scholarship Scheme is one of our Corporate Social
Responsibility initiatives to promote skilled manpower development in Nigeria’s
Agricultural sector.
In 2005, the scope of the Scholarship Scheme was expanded to
include eligible students from across the country. This expansion was based on
stakeholder expectations raised at a stakeholder dialogue session. Ten eligible
students are awarded scholarships every year for the duration of their study,
with five slots reserved for eligible children of BAT registered tobacco
farmers.
In the event that the farmers’ children do not meet the
eligibility requirements, those five slots are opened up to candidates from
tobacco leaf growing communities (not farmers’ children). In the event that
they also do not meet the eligibility requirements, the five slots are opened
up to candidates from other parts of Oyo State.
However, students who are children of BAT registered tobacco
farmers are now being given the opportunity to apply for other courses asides
from Agriculture.
