We are proud to announce the beneficiaries of the third edition of our annual tuition support program, now fully integrated into its social impact and CSR arm, the Smart Hustle Initiative.

An initiative focused on tackling fraud at its roots by expanding access to education and opportunities for the youth,  and fostering a belief in legitimate pathways to success.

This year’s beneficiaries span multiple states and institutions. A total of 150 students across Nigeria will receive financial support at critical stages of their academic journeys, marking the largest expansion of the program since its inception.

Under the initiative, Selar is disbursing a total of ₦10,000,000 in grants. Fifty final-year students at accredited universities and polytechnics will receive ₦100,000 each, while 100 SS3 students preparing for WAEC and JAMB examinations will receive ₦50,000 each.

The selected beneficiaries emerged from a nationwide application process that opened on February 24 and closed on March 13, 2026, attracting entries from students across diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
