University Edition – NCDF Impact Club

NCDF Impact Club – University Edition (NCDF-Uni)

Where Ideas Meet Capital. Where Students Become Changemakers.

“We don’t just prepare students for jobs — we prepare them to build the future.”

The NCDF Impact Club – University Edition (NCDF-Uni) is more than just a student club. It’s a nationwide movement to unleash student-led innovation, enterprise, and impact investing across campuses. NCDF-Uni bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world transformation.

What We Offer: A Campus Innovation Ecosystem

NCDF-Uni brings together investment, education, and enterprise incubation into one powerful platform designed for students, by students, with institutions.

Our 4-Pillar Experience

We’ve fused financial education, venture building, innovation, and career readiness into a seamless journey — one that empowers students from lecture halls to boardrooms.

1. Leadership & Learning Communities

NCDF – Uni Chapters are run by students, for students — but guided by an ecosystem of support:

Faculty Advisors from the university
NCDF Mentors from the industry
National Student Leaders trained in venture development

Expect monthly startup bootcamps, leadership forums, investment talks, and peer-led strategy nights. It’s where ideas get oxygen, and students become builders.

Think: A co-curricular powerhouse where the next Dangote, Elon Musk, or Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is nurtured.

2. Campus Impact Portfolio (CIP)

NCDF – Uni members gain access to the first student micro-investment wallet in Nigeria — designed to teach investing while making real social impact.

Invest ₦5,000 – ₦50,000 into NCDF-aligned real-world projects (renewable energy, healthcare, fintech, agro-processing)
Get performance reports and learn ESG investing hands-on
Vote on projects to fund via a simplified Campus DAO model

Save smart. Earn ethically. Invest boldly.

3. Learn, Earn & Launch

We merge education, empowerment, and funding in one integrated experience:

Short, certified learning tracks in ESG, impact finance, entrepreneurship, and venture capital
Delivered via an intuitive, gamified platform
Rewards: Digital badges, internship credits, micro-grants, and exclusive NCDF career pathways

Students can then take their learning further in The Venture Arena:

Submit real startup ideas
Compete in pitch challenges to win ₦250K – ₦1M in seed funding

Knowledge becomes capital. And every lesson leads to a launch.

Priority access to the Fortune Graduate Fellowship Programme
