The Scholarship Unit of the Federal University of Education (FUE), Zaria, has issued an important notice to all students who applied for the Kaduna State Scholarship. To move forward in the selection process, every applicant must undergo a physical verification exercise to authenticate their claims and academic status. This stage is crucial for the Kaduna State Scholarship Board to ensure that funds are allocated to genuine and eligible students currently enrolled in the institution.
Verification Schedule and Venue
The exercise is scheduled to take place on Monday, 2nd February, 2026. The designated venue is the A.A. Ladan Hall, and the session will commence at 10:00 a.m. prompt. Applicants are encouraged to arrive at the venue early to facilitate an orderly queue system and ensure that the verification officers can attend to everyone within the allotted time. Punctuality is essential, as the team from the scholarship board often operates on a tight schedule across various institutions.
Required Documentation for the Exercise
To successfully pass the screening, students must present all relevant original documents. While specific lists are often provided by the scholarship board, applicants should generally come prepared with their original Admission Letter, State of Origin/Indigene Certificate, and recent Academic Transcripts or Statement of Results. It is also advisable to bring along your National Identification Number (NIN) slip and the printed copy of your scholarship application form. Presenting original documents is a non-negotiable requirement for verifying the authenticity of your application.
Administrative Oversight and Support
The announcement, signed by Mal. Abdullahi Bashir BawanAllah, the Scholarship Desk Officer, emphasizes that this exercise is the primary responsibility of the student to attend. Missing this verification could lead to the automatic disqualification of an applicant, regardless of their academic merit or financial need. The Scholarship Unit serves as the liaison between the university and the state board, ensuring that the process remains transparent and efficient for all FUE Zaria students.
Inquiries and Technical Assistance
Students who have questions regarding the specific documents required or those who may have conflicting academic schedules are advised to reach out to the Scholarship Unit immediately. Several dedicated phone lines have been provided for these enquiries, including 08104676263, 09138143127, 08037413736, and 08033785188.
