The Delta State Bursary and Scholarship Board has announced that the disbursement of the 2024/2025 Students Special Assistance Scheme (Bursary Award) will commence on March 10, 2026.

The Board’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Godfrey Enita, disclosed this in a public service announcement issued in Asaba.

He stated that the payment is for eligible Delta State indigenes studying in tertiary institutions across Nigeria who successfully completed the registration and verification processes for the programme.

He said the scheme reflects the state government’s commitment to supporting the education and welfare of students from Delta State in higher institutions nationwide.

Dr. Enita also commended the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, for his continued support for students and dedication to advancing education in the state.

The Board urged all beneficiaries to remain focused on their academic pursuits and to continue upholding the values of excellence, integrity, and pride associated with Delta State in their respective institutions.

The bursary scheme is one of the key educational support programmes of the Delta State Government aimed at easing the financial burden on students and promoting access to quality higher education for indigenes of the state. (The Nation)
