Don Jazzy announces technology scholarship for 2027

Nigerian music executive and Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy has announced a technology scholarship programme for 2027 aimed at helping Nigerians gain practical digital skills and prepare for opportunities in the technology industry.

The Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027, launched in partnership with TS Academy, offers successful applicants tuition discounts of up to 100 per cent, depending on the scholarship awarded. The initiative also includes a discount on the application fee, practical training and career-development support.

The announcement, made on October 26, 2026, is aimed at people who want to build technology-related skills, including beginners who may not have previous experience in the sector.

A wide range of technology courses

According to the programme’s official website, applicants can choose from a variety of technology and digital skills courses based on their interests and career goals.

Available options include Artificial Intelligence and Automation, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Software Development, Digital Marketing, Product Design, Data Science, Content Creation and Virtual Assistance.

The programme also lists Project Management, Product Management, DevOps Engineering, Graphics Design, Frontend Development and Backend Development among its training options. TS Academy describes most of the courses as beginner-friendly, potentially making the opportunity accessible to people looking to change careers or start learning a new skill.

Scholarship benefits go beyond tuition

The scholarship is not limited to reduced training fees. The programme also advertises hands-on learning, mentorship, internship opportunities and job-placement support to help participants develop practical skills and prepare for work.

Additional support for selected students

The academy says 50 laptops are available for selected beneficiaries, while data assistance may be provided to up to 500 students. These benefits are not guaranteed to everyone: applicants will be considered based on eligibility, demonstrated need and available resources.

The initiative could help reduce some of the financial barriers faced by aspiring technology workers, particularly people who need structured training but cannot afford the full tuition cost. However, applicants should distinguish between the maximum scholarship advertised and the specific award they may receive.

Don Jazzy’s announcement also reflects a growing interest in connecting entertainment influence with opportunities in education and digital skills development. While the scholarship does not guarantee a job after training, practical projects, mentoring and internship opportunities could help participants build experience alongside their technical knowledge.

Applications are listed as open on the programme’s official website. Interested Nigerians can follow these steps:
