Global Relocation Academy (GRA), a Nigerian-based relocation and scholarship advisory platform, has reported that Nigerians supported through its programmes secured scholarships valued at about ₦2.8 billion in 2025.
According to figures contained in its 2025 impact report, the total combines results recorded across both halves of the year. The organisation had earlier disclosed that beneficiaries secured over ₦921 million in scholarships within the first half of the year. Its latest H2 Impact Snapshot shows that an additional ₦1.876 billion was recorded between July and December.
The Academy said the combined figures bring the total value of scholarships secured by Nigerians under its guidance in 2025 to nearly ₦3 billion.
Data from the second half of the year shows that 72 Nigerians secured scholarship placements across several countries, while 31 admissions were processed within the same period. The organisation noted that its activities are focused on providing structured guidance to applicants seeking international education opportunities.
Beyond placements, the Academy also reported increased engagement through its training initiatives. It said 17 virtual training sessions and webinars were conducted between July and December, with over 7,000 participants trained on scholarship opportunities, admission processes and visa requirements.
The organisation added that participation in its learning community continued to grow during the period, with users engaging through email programmes, social media platforms and online information sessions designed to simplify the relocation process.
Co-founder of Global Relocation Academy, Daniel Saviours, said the figures reflect a rising interest among Nigerians in accessing global education opportunities.
“Every week, we see Nigerians receive admission offers, scholarship awards and visa approvals that once seemed out of reach,” he said. “The opportunities exist, but many applicants need the right information and guidance to navigate the process.”
He added that a number of beneficiaries initially considered studying abroad financially unattainable, but were able to identify scholarship options after gaining a clearer understanding of international admissions systems.
The Academy also said feedback from parents and beneficiaries indicates that access to information and guidance has played a key role in helping applicants take more informed steps towards studying abroad.
It noted that its work extends beyond securing admissions, stating that international education can provide long-term career opportunities, particularly in countries where graduates have access to employment pathways and professional networks.
With participation levels increasing and scholarship values approaching ₦3 billion for the year, the organisation said it plans to expand its programmes and partnerships to reach more Nigerians seeking opportunities abroad.
“Our focus remains on making international education more accessible,” Saviours said. “With the right approach, many qualified Nigerians can take advantage of opportunities that can significantly shape their future.”
