How to Apply for the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027: Official Form, Courses and Deadline

The Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027 offers successful applicants up to 100 per cent tuition support, worth as much as ₦447,000. The dedicated scholarship application form closes on 30 November 2026 and lists 19 courses. A separate TS Academy application form also includes the Don Jazzy scholarship but displays a 30 December deadline. Applicants should use the dedicated scholarship route or obtain clarification from TS Academy before relying on the later date.

Applications are open for the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027, an initiative by Nigerian music executive Don Jazzy and TS Academy offering selected learners up to 100 per cent tuition support for technology and digital skills training.

The scholarship advertises tuition support worth as much as ₦447,000, alongside opportunities for selected students to receive laptops and internet data. Applicants can choose from 19 technology and digital skills courses, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software development, data analytics and digital marketing.

However, prospective applicants should pay attention to the application route. TechView Africa found two official TS Academy application forms that include the Don Jazzy scholarship but display different closing dates. The dedicated scholarship form gives 30 November 2026, while the academy's general scholarship form gives 30 December 2026.

Here is how the application works, what applicants need to prepare and what they should clarify before submitting their details.

Don Jazzy scholarship: Which application form should you use?

TS Academy currently has two application routes relevant to the Don Jazzy scholarship.

The first is the dedicated application form linked from the official Don Jazzy scholarship campaign page. It is titled The Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027 and specifically collects applications for this programme. It lists a closing date of 30 November 2026.

The second is the general TS Academy application form, reached through the academy's main Apply page. It is titled Apply for the 2027 Tech Scholarships and includes Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027 among several scholarship choices. This form displays a closing date of 30 December 2026.

The two forms also differ in their application structure. The dedicated Don Jazzy form allows applicants to request additional learner support and choose between a laptop, smartphone or data assistance. It explains that such support is limited, reserved for enrolled students and subject to selection. The general form instead begins with a scholarship-selection field, allowing applicants to choose from several listed programmes.

TS Academy has not published an explanation of the different deadlines or confirmed whether the later date on its general form extends the Don Jazzy-specific application window.

For applicants specifically seeking the Don Jazzy award, the dedicated form linked from the scholarship campaign page is the clearest route because it is expressly designated for that programme. Applicants should use the 30 November 2026 deadline displayed there as the safe deadline rather than assume that the general form's later date applies. Anyone who has already submitted an application through the general form should contact the academy for clarification instead of submitting a duplicate.

What does the scholarship cover?

Successful applicants can receive full or partial tuition discounts, depending on the award offered. The maximum advertised tuition support is 100 per cent, equivalent to ₦447,000.

The programme also advertises:

• 50 laptops for selected beneficiaries.
• Internet data support for 500 students.
• Practical training and mentorship.
• Access to a learner community.
• Internship and job-placement support.

These additional benefits are not automatically included with every tuition award. The dedicated application form says applicants can request a laptop, smartphone or data assistance and explain their needs, but support is limited and successful beneficiaries will be contacted after their cohort begins.

The scholarship also has an application fee. Successful applicants receive an additional discount, but the exact discounted amount is not stated on the scholarship application page. TS Academy's terms say the application fee is refundable only before access to its Learning Management System is granted.

Applicants should confirm the amount payable and the applicable payment instructions before completing enrolment.

Which courses are available?

The dedicated application form currently lists 19 course choices, covering technical, business, product, design and creative skills.

Technology and infrastructure: AI and Automation, Cybersecurity, Software Development, Frontend Development, Backend Development, DevOps Engineering, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics and Data Science.

Business and digital operations: Product Management, Product Marketing, Project Management, Digital Marketing, Social Media Marketing and Virtual Assistant.

Design and content: Product Design (UI/UX), Graphics Design, Becoming an Influencer (Content Creation), and AI Content Creation and YouTube Automation.

Applicants can indicate whether they already have technology experience, are completely new to the field or want to deepen their existing knowledge. TS Academy describes most of the programmes as beginner-friendly, although the skills required and learning experience will depend on the selected course.

Those still deciding between technical paths can consult TechView Africa's comparison of data analysis, cybersecurity and cloud computing for beginners.

How to apply for the Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship

The scholarship-specific application is completed online through a Google Form linked from the campaign page.

1. Open the dedicated application form

Access the official Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship 2027 form. Confirm that its title identifies the Don Jazzy programme rather than assuming every TS Academy application form has identical conditions.

2. Enter your personal details

The form requests your first and last names, email address, WhatsApp-preferred phone number, gender and country. A middle name is optional.

Enter your names exactly as you would like them to appear on your certificate. You will also be asked for your state or city and current employment or study status.

3. Provide your educational background

Select the educational level that applies to you. Available choices include High School, OND, NCE, Diploma, HND, Degree, Master's, MPhil/PhD and Other.

4. Select one course

Choose the technology or digital skills programme you want to study. The scholarship FAQ says applicants may apply for only one course under the programme. Do not submit multiple forms to register interest in different courses.

5. Choose your learning arrangement and preferred start date

The dedicated form offers three learning options: online, physical (in-person) and hybrid.

It also lists three preferred 2027 start dates:

• 28 February 2027
• 30 March 2027
• 31 July 2027

Choose the option that best fits your availability, but confirm the actual timetable and location for your selected course with TS Academy before enrolment.

6. Indicate your experience and support needs

State whether you have previous technology experience, are new to the field or want to deepen your existing knowledge.

The form also allows applicants to request additional learner support. You can select a laptop, smartphone or data assistance and explain why you need it. This request is optional and does not guarantee selection.

You can also indicate whether you would like assistance with job placement after completing your training.

7. Review the terms and submit once

Check your contact details, selected course and preferred cohort before submitting. Read and accept TS Academy's terms and conditions.

The dedicated form specifically warns applicants not to apply twice. Keep access to the email address and phone number supplied because successful applicants are contacted through their application details with scholarship offers and enrolment instructions.

Who can apply?

The application form accommodates people with different educational and employment backgrounds. It includes options for students, graduates, working professionals, self-employed applicants and unemployed candidates.

Previous technology experience is not required for most of the advertised beginner-friendly programmes. However, the academy's general terms state that applicants must be at least 18 years old or have consent from a parent or legal guardian.

The country field also includes Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and an option for other locations. Applicants outside Nigeria should confirm any country-specific learning arrangements and eligibility conditions directly with the academy.

What happens after submitting the application?

Submitting the form does not automatically mean an applicant has received a scholarship.

TS Academy says it reviews applications to determine eligibility and the level of tuition support that may be offered. Successful applicants receive their scholarship offers and enrolment instructions through the contact information supplied.

The published application materials do not provide a detailed scholarship scoring formula, the total number of tuition awards or a fixed announcement date for all successful applicants. Applicants should therefore rely on direct communication from the academy rather than assume that submission guarantees selection.

Our Recommendation

The Don Jazzy Tech Scholarship provides an opportunity to pursue technology and digital skills training with substantial potential tuition support. Applicants should, however, pay particular attention to the two application routes currently published by TS Academy.

For those who do not currently own a laptop, our guide on starting a tech career using only a smartphone explains which skills can be explored with a mobile device and where access to a computer eventually becomes important.

The dedicated Don Jazzy form displays a 30 November 2026 deadline, while the general scholarship form gives 30 December 2026. Until the academy explains whether the later date applies to the dedicated programme, applicants should not assume that it extends the scholarship-specific deadline.

Choose one course, provide accurate information, review the application-fee conditions and submit through the dedicated route. Those who have already applied through the general portal should seek clarification from TS Academy rather than send another application.
