Africa Initiative for Governance (AIG) is now accepting applications from eligible Nigerians currently working in the public sector for its 2023/2023 scholarships. The deadline for submission of application for the Africa Initiative for Governance (AIG) Scholarships is September 9, 2022.
The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation invites applications for the 7th edition of the AIG Scholarships, which provide an exciting opportunity for talented Nigerians working in the Nigerian public sector to attend the University of Oxford for one year and pursue a Master’s in Public Policy degree.
The AIG Scholarships were established in 2017 to provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for talented West Africans interested in a career in public service to pursue a Master of Public Policy at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government. Since 2017, twenty-seven (27) scholarships totaling more than £50,000 have been awarded to future public sector executives who have showed a commitment to the field.
AIG Scholars spend a year at one of the world’s finest universities, learning from exceptional academic faculty and professional practitioners while interacting with other future public sector leaders from around the world. Scholars return to their home countries after finishing their degrees to apply their knowledge to improve policymaking, promote reforms, and contribute to their country’s progress.
From 2022, the AIG Scholarships will only be available to applicants who are already employed in the civil service. Applicants must be between the ages of 25 and 50, with good intellectual capacity, demonstrable leadership characteristics, and a desire to contribute to the development of Nigeria’s civil service.
