How Nigerian students can apply for NANS business grant

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has opened applications for its 2026 entrepreneurship programme, NANSInnovate. This initiative aims to provide funding for Nigerian student entrepreneurs running businesses at universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education across the country.

To apply, students must be currently enrolled in a recognised Nigerian tertiary institution and have either an existing business or a business idea they intend to develop. A valid student ID card and a 10-page business proposal in Microsoft Word format are required. Optional certificates include CAC or SMEDAN documents. Applications can be submitted through the NANSInnovate application portal at grants.nanshq.org.

The programme will culminate in a national pitch competition for the top 20 finalists, who will compete for monetary prizes worth millions of naira. NANSInnovate offers learning sessions, networking opportunities, mentorship, and a national pitch competition.
