BOSAN Scholarship Awards

In 2018, BOSAN became very concerned about the falling standard of practice in the Legal Profession and decided to take steps to arrest the trend. BOSAN believed that the problem could be addressed at the University as well as the Nigerian Law School levels by setting targets that will motivate Law Students to aspire to scholarly excellence.

To positively impact the standard and quality of Legal Education on a sustainable basis, BOSAN came up with the idea of producing BOSAN SCHOLARS. The maiden award program was established in 2019, during which five deserving students were awarded the scholarship at a prize of ₦1,000,000.00 (One Million Naira) each. Since then, BOSAN has consistently presented the award, except in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Award

Successful Applicants shall receive the Scholarship Award in the sum of ₦500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) in the final year, and ₦500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) at the Nigerian Law School.
