difference between SCHOLARSHIP NATIONAL MERIT AWARD and AREA OF OPERATION AWARD




So many undergraduate students misunderstand the difference between the scholarship award type called, the NATIONAL MERIT AWARD and THE AREA OF OPERATION MERIT AWARD ( for indigenes only ) and as such wont get invitation for any scholarship award that makes use of this two categories.

you can imagine a student that reside in Lagos and he/she is an indigene of an oil producing community ends up applying for a scholarship using National Merit award when there is an option to use area of operation merit award.what do you think would happen, of course, you may end up not getting the scholarship award invitation to write their aptitude test because you fail to read and understand the instructions given.this is why i want to clarify the difference between the scholarship category NATION MERIT AWARD and AREA OF OPERATION MERIT AWARD

it may interest you to note that SHELL and TOTAL makes use of the national merit award and area of operation merit award when they are calling for scholarship registration.it may be that they may call for it on different date or may be on same date.so take note of that.

so what is NATIONAL MERIT AWARD SCHOLARSHIP

in this scholarship category, all the citizens regardless of where you are from in Nigeria,as far as you are in any Nigerian university or polytechnic that is recognized by them and meet up their requirements and eligibility, you can apply for such category of scholarship.this category of scholarship is for all the undergraduate students in Nigerian universities or polytechnics that meet their requirement, so take note of that.

what is the AREA OF OPERATION MERIT AWARD SCHOLARSHIP

looking at the tittle, you will know that it is self explanatory but let me explain it further.

this category of scholarship is only meant for the indigence of a particular a state.most at times it is for indigenes from oil producing states and at times the scholarship company will specify the community.regardless of specifying the community, most at times, students use the opportunity to register under such state even when they did not specify their community.take note that you should not in any circumstances apply under a state that is not included in the listed states that are eligible else it will be at your own disadvantage because you will give yourself up for automatic rejection.so read every scholarship instructions that makes use of the national merit award and area of operation merit award.here are list of states that are added most at times among area of operation merit award,

DELTA, BAYELSA, RIVERS, ABIA, IMO, AKWA IBOM. so take note of that.
