The Hallelujah Challenge ₦50 Million Grant 2026 was introduced as financial support for Nigerian small businesses and students who need help with school fees.
The initiative was organized under the Hallelujah Challenge outreach and carried out in partnership with Premium Trust Bank. A total of ₦50 million was set aside to support selected beneficiaries across the country.
Interest in the programme was high from the moment registration opened.
What the Grant Covered
The fund was created to assist two groups.
The first group included small and medium business owners operating in Nigeria. Applicants were expected to have a registered or verifiable business. The support was meant to help with business expenses such as restocking goods, purchasing equipment, or stabilising operations.
The second group included students from primary school to tertiary institutions who needed help paying tuition. Applicants were required to show proof of school enrollment and outstanding fees.
The organisers made it clear that all applications would go through proper screening before final selection.
How the Application Process Worked
Registration opened on 18 February 2026 at 12:00 PM West Africa Time through the official Hallelujah Challenge website.
Applicants selected either the SME category or the student category and completed an online form with their personal or business details. Supporting documents were required where necessary.
The review process began after the portal closed. Only applications submitted within the official window were considered valid.
Beneficiaries are expected to be announced on 27 February 2026, based on the earlier information released by the organisers.
