The Federal Government has announced plans to launch a new funding initiative, the STEMM Up Grant, in August 2025, which will provide up to N50 million in startup capital to each selected undergraduate innovator in science and technology disciplines.
The initiative is scheduled to be formally unveiled on Wednesday, August 28, 2025, and will target full-time undergraduate students in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions studying Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medical Sciences (STEMM) — specifically those in their 300 level and above.
The disclosure was made on Friday by Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, the Honourable Minister of Education, via a statement released on his official X account.
