Admissions & Scholarships

Admission to NIMTA is honest and straightforward. Every applicant is held to the same standard. And because of who founded this institute, the children of those who serve get a special thank-you.

Scholarships & Fees

Here is how it works. Nothing hidden.

NIMTA was founded by the Nigerian Army Officers' Wives Association, and giving back to military families is part of who we are. If your parent wears or has worn this nation's uniform, some or all of your training is on us. If not, you are every bit as welcome, and you will get the same facilitators, the same equipment, and the same standard.

No uniform in your family? You are just as welcome here. Every naira of your fee goes into the quality of your own training, the facilitators, the equipment, the small class sizes.
Standard programme fees apply. Ask the Admissions Office about flexible payment options.
