The ISOBOL Education Scholarship Initiative for Tertiary Students (IESITS) is a financial support program designed to assist Nigerian students pursuing higher education in universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. The initiative aims to remove financial barriers to education, allowing students to focus on their academic pursuits.

The scholarship is open to Nigerian students enrolled in tertiary institutions with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 5.0 scale. Applicants must demonstrate financial need and be in good academic standing with no disciplinary issues. Special consideration is given to orphans and students with disabilities.

There are two scholarship tiers:

• Tuition Only: ₦100,000 total (₦75,000 base + ₦25,000 for test qualifiers)
• Tuition + Expenses: ₦250,000 total (₦200,000 base + ₦50,000 for test qualifiers)
