Ruth Titilayo Educational FoundationTechnical and Vocational Grant Package 2027
All Information
The Ruth Titilayo Educational Foundation provides financial assistance to eligible Nigerian students undertaking approved technical and vocational training. The programme aims to reduce the cost barriers that prevent students from gaining practical, employment-oriented skills. It supports eligible single-course programmes offered through approved Vocational Enterprise Institutions (VEIs) recognised under the National Board for Technical Education framework. Training may cover practical areas such as welding, carpentry, fashion and tailoring, information and communications technology, electrical installation, plumbing, catering and automobile mechanics, provided the course and institution meet the foundation’s eligibility rules. The grant package contributes towards tuition and maintenance costs, with additional assistance for eligible expenses potentially available at the committee’s discretion.
