About US Embassy Education Opportunities for Nigerians 2025

The United States Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, invites organizations to participate in an open competition for a project designed to promote U.S. higher education opportunities for high-achieving, low-income Nigerian students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

This initiative focuses on enhancing standard advising centers and providing financial assistance to support the application processes for these students. The implementing partner will collaborate with Education Specialists from the Public Diplomacy Section in Abuja and Lagos to execute the 2025–26 Education Advising Program. This includes supporting the Education USA Opportunity Funds Program and assisting advising centers in Calabar, Jos, Ibadan, and Kano.
