The Carewave ASPIRE Scholarship Programme (CASP) 2026 is a merit based undergraduate scholarship for eligible Nigerian students who are financially unable to fund their studies at any recognized Federal University in the country.
The Carewave ASPIRE Scholarship Programme (CASP) is a merit- and need-based scholarship initiative created by the Carewave Foundation to financially support academically outstanding Nigerian students who have gained admission into eligible tertiary institutions, with priority given to Federal Universities in Nigeria but lack the financial capacity to pursue their education with an Undergraduate Scholarship worth up to ₦500,000 and other benefits.
The programme will initially provide scholarship support for one academic year. At the end of the academic session, scholars will be assessed based on their academic performance and compliance with the programme’s requirements. Students who maintain the required academic standard will have their scholarship renewed for subsequent academic sessions.
For many young Nigerians, gaining admission into a tertiary institution is a major achievement. However, for students from vulnerable and low-income communities, finding the financial resources to stay in school is the major challenge. That is why Carewave Foundation believes that financial hardship should never determine how far a talented young person can go.
