2013/2014 BATN/BATIA Scholarship Scheme

British American Tobacco Nigeria (BATN), in conjunction
with British American Tobacco Iseyin Agronomy (BATIA)
invites applications from qualified Nigerian undergraduates,
for the 2013/2014 Scholarship Scheme.
The Scholarship Scheme is one of our Corporate Social
Responsibility initiatives to promote skilled manpower
development in Nigeria’s Agricultural sector.
In 2005, the scope of the Scholarship Scheme was expanded
to include eligible students from across the country. This
expansion was based on stakeholder expectations raised at
a stakeholder dialogue session. Ten eligible students are
awarded scholarships every year for the duration of their
study, with five slots reserved for eligible children of BAT
registered tobacco farmers.
In the event that the farmers’ children do not meet the
eligibility requirements, those five slots are opened up to
candidates from tobacco leaf growing communities (not
farmers’ children). In the event that they also do not meet
the eligibility requirements, the five slots are opened up to
candidates from other parts of Oyo State.
However, students who are children of BAT registered
tobacco farmers are now being given the opportunity to
apply for other courses asides from Agriculture.
The Scheme is open to:
• Qualified candidates who are children of BAT registered
tobacco farmers
• Other qualified candidates from across Nigeria
The BATN / BATIA Scholarship Scheme was established in
2004 to encourage the higher educational ambitions of
children (aged 18 and above) of BATIA’s registered tobacco
farmers.
