UNIVERSITY/POLYTECHNIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME GRANTS-IN-AID

The Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists, University/Polytechnic Assistance Program includes special grants named in recognition of benevolent leaders/corporate
organizations. These individuals/organizations have made substantial contributions to the UAP teaching, and research programs in Nigerian Universities and Polytechnics.

 

PURPOSE

The purpose of the program is to foster research in the geosciences by providing support to undergraduate and graduate students in the earth sciences whose research has application to the search for and development of oil, gas, energy, mineral resources, hydrogeology and related environmental geology issues.

 

ELIGIBILITY AND GRANT VALUE

Award recipients must be enrolled in an HND, Bachelor, Masters or PhD programme. They must be of proven character who maintain the ethics and standard of the profession while, above all, having a constant high grade in his chosen academic career (i.e. minimum of 2.50 CGPA and 60% aggregate for B.Sc. and M.Sc. respectively). However, credit will be given for higher grade. Monetary awards range from a minimum amount of N35,000 to a maximum of N100,000 for postgraduate and N15,000 to N50,000 for undergraduate students.

 

USE OF GRANTS

Grants are to be applied to expenses directly related to the student’s thesis work, such as fieldwork, laboratory analyses, and books. The educational institution attended by the applicant must ensure the grant’s appropriate use, and that the grants are not turned over to the Institution.

 

BASIS FOR AWARDING GRANTS:

Grants would be based on merit, proven character and, in part, on the financial needs of the applicant. Applicants will be selected based on qualification, as indicated by past academic performance, originality and imagination of the proposed project, support by the department in which the work is being done, and significance of the project to petroleum, energy-minerals and related environmental geology.
For prudence, these grants will only be awarded once to any one applicant on M.Sc. degree and twice for B.Sc. and PhD Programmes. Repeat-ability will be based on excellent academic record.
