According to a statement by the Department of Army Administration on Saturday in Abuja, the screening will take place in the six geo- political zones.

The scholarship is one of the welfare schemes aimed at guaranteeing primary, secondary, and tertiary education for children of personnel who died in active service.

The statement urged new applicants and beneficiaries upgrading their educational level, as well as those absent from the 2023–2024 exercise, to participate.

It said successful candidates would get the appropriate sponsorship funds for their respective educational levels.

Documents required for the exercises are, handwritten application for sponsorship containing the names of the children; letter of admission of the beneficiary, and the last school report card/results of the beneficiary.
