FUTB Free Tuition for Mathematics and Physics Students
Federal University of Technology, Babura (FUTB), Jigawa State, has approved a full waiver of tuition and school fees for candidates admitted into its B.Sc Mathematics and B.Sc Physics programmes. The initiative means eligible students admitted into either of the two programmes will not be required to pay tuition and school fees, providing an opportunity for qualified candidates interested in pursuing university education in these science disciplines.
The fee waiver is part of the university’s effort to attract more students to Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medical Sciences, commonly referred to as STEMM. It is also aimed at helping address the shortage of skilled professionals in science-related fields by encouraging more young people to pursue academic and career pathways in these areas.
Candidates who previously selected a different course or another university may also be considered for the opportunity if they meet the required admission conditions. Those who qualify and wish to take advantage of the offer will need to change their institution and course to FUT Babura through a JAMB-approved CBT Centre. Candidates should ensure they meet the university’s admission requirements before completing the change of institution and course process.
FUTB Free Tuition Covers Mathematics and Physics
The approved fee waiver applies to two undergraduate programmes:
- B.Sc Mathematics
- B.Sc Physics
Beneficiaries will receive a 100% waiver of tuition and other school fees for the duration of their studies.
This means students admitted under the offer will have their tuition and school fees covered throughout the programme.
The Fee Waiver Covers 100% of School Fees
FUT Babura has stated that beneficiaries will receive a full waiver of tuition and school fees.
The offer is part of the university’s community service effort to make science education more accessible, especially for students from northern Nigeria and other underserved areas.
The waiver is also intended to increase enrolment in core science programmes that often receive lower student interest despite their role in science and technology.
Candidates Who Chose Other Universities May Apply
The opportunity is open to eligible candidates who originally selected other universities or other programmes, provided they meet the admission requirements.
Such candidates will need to change both their university and course to Federal University of Technology, Babura.
The change is to be completed at any JAMB CBT Centre.
How Eligible Candidates Can Change to FUT Babura
Candidates who meet the admission requirements but did not initially select FUT Babura or the affected programmes will be expected to complete the required JAMB change.
The process stated by the university is straightforward:
- The candidate should visit any JAMB CBT Centre.
- The candidate should request a change of university and course.
- Federal University of Technology, Babura should be selected as the university.
- B.Sc Mathematics or B.Sc Physics should be selected as the preferred programme.
Candidates should ensure that they meet the admission requirements before completing the change.
FUTB Free Tuition Supports STEMM Education
The fee waiver is linked to efforts to encourage more young Nigerians to study STEMM courses.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medical Sciences are areas connected with national development, while shortages of skilled professionals remain a concern in science-related fields.
FUT Babura expects the fee waiver to encourage enrolment in Mathematics and Physics and support the training of graduates for research, teaching and industry.
The Waiver Applies to the Current Admission Cycle
The 100% tuition and school fee waiver takes effect during the current admission cycle.
Qualified candidates who want to benefit from the offer are expected to complete the necessary admission steps and, where required, process the change of university and course through a JAMB CBT Centre.
