Applications are open for the Life-Baker Rising Stars Academic Competition 2026. Organised by Life-Baker Group of Schools as part of its 20th anniversary celebration, the free competition will identify and reward exceptional pupils and students through a rigorous computer-based academic assessment.
The Rising Stars Academic Competition is a merit-based educational initiative created to recognise academic excellence and provide school-fee scholarships to high-performing learners. It is an academic competition, not a conventional scholarship application. Awards will be determined by performance, ranking, verification and the competition rules.
Prizes
- Twenty successful participants will receive scholarships with a combined academic value of ₦20,000,000.
- Grand Scholars: The top eligible participant in each category may receive full school-fee coverage through graduation, subject to scoring at least 85%, ranking first in the category, verification and final approval.
- Merit and Recognition Scholarships: Additional high-performing participants will receive scholarship awards based on their results and final ranking.
- All prizes are academic value redeemable only at Life-Baker Group of Schools. They are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash.
Eligibility
- Open to pupils and students currently in Basic 6, JSS1, JSS2 or SS1.
- Applicants may attend any school, provided they are in one of the eligible classes.
- Participants must be available to sit the in-person CBT competition on 1 August 2026.
