Application for the FAJIM Undergraduate Scholarship Program 2026

About the Scholarship Program:

The FAJIM Scholars Program was established to provide financial support for undergraduate students studying medicine and health-related disciplines in Nigerian public universities. Beyond financial aid, the program also provides mentorship, academic guidance, and opportunities for community service through FAJIM’s health outreaches.
