Key Scholarship Guidelines for DELSUites
What CGPA is required to retain oil & gas JV scholarships?
Major corporate donors (Shell, Chevron, Agip, TotalEnergies) require scholars to maintain a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.00 to 3.50 on the DELSU 5.0 scale. Result slips endorsed by your HOD must be submitted at the start of every academic session. Use our GPA tools to track your performance.
Are Delta State indigenes in DELSU eligible for federal bursaries?
Yes. DELSU students can apply for the Federal Government FSB National Bursary as well as the Delta State Student Bursary Award. However, you cannot hold two corporate oil & gas scholarships concurrently.
