Questionnaires were distributed among the students, teaching and non teaching staff in the same proportions, to gather data for the study Frequency counts and simple percentages were used to analyse the data. The result shows that Tertiary institutions in Ondo state have benefited greatly from the activities of the Educational Trust Fund (ETF) programmes in terms of training of staff, sponsorship attendance of conferences and infrastructural development programmes. Therefore, it is clear that the impact of Educational Trust Fund (ETF) has on Nigeria tertiary institutions particularly in Ondo state is paramount towards the achievements of better teaching and learning process.
