About the Nigeria Higher Education Foundation (NHEF) 2024 Scholarship Program:
The Nigeria Higher Education Foundation (NHEF) was established by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in 2004. Since its inception, the NHEF has been dedicated to enhancing the capacity of higher education institutions in Nigeria.
A robust, world-class higher education sector in Nigeria is crucial for developing the next generation of leaders. It contributes to economic growth, fosters a just and vibrant social structure, and encourages participation in a stable democracy.
The NHEF aims for a future where Nigerian higher education ranks among the best globally, producing scholars and leaders of the 21st century who can make a lasting impact in Nigeria and beyond. To achieve this, we collaborate with Nigerian universities and provide both local and global resources to nurture and advance the skills and leadership of young Nigerian scholars.
