The Federal Government of Nigeria has confirmed that certain Nigerian students in Hungary claiming financial support under the Bilateral Education Agreement (BEA) Scholarship are not official BEA scholars. Verification by the appropriate authorities shows that these individuals have never received any scholarship award under the programme.
Claims to BEA benefits such as monthly allowances, loans, or credit facilities do not apply to them. The Government emphasizes that only duly awarded and properly documented BEA beneficiaries are eligible for financial support.
While the Government recognizes and appreciates the support provided by host countries for international students, it stresses that Federal Government obligations apply only to officially awarded and properly documented BEA beneficiaries.
This clarification is issued to prevent misinformation, uphold transparency, and safeguard the integrity of Nigeria’s scholarship programmes.
