Sponsor a Student

We recognize that in a world where everything revolves around money, too many talented and motivated students are cheated out of a quality education because of their families inability to meet the financial obligations of sending a child to school.

As such, the child is denied the opportunity to compete on a national or global level for opportunities of employment and/or social and political involvement.

In short, on a daily basis, due to lack of education, too many of our youth are being denied a chance to achieve their dreams.

We believe that with a quality education, the sky is the limit for what a child can achieve, and we feel that money should not be a road block or a glass ceiling.

The scholarship is structured to provide financial assistance in the form of a full scholarship to a student for the duration of their education prior to entering University.

Under the scholarship contract, the student’s tuition and books are fully paid for provided that the student maintains a satisfactory academic record.

Students are chosen to be recipients of the scholarship based upon their need, which is determined by the students’ family income, family structure, and the total cost of attending the chosen school.

Students are also evaluated based on past academic performance, i.e. has the student proven that they are serious about their education by maintaining a satisfactory academic record?

Once a student is chosen as a recipient of the scholarship, the tuition money is paid directly to the school official who is required to maintain an accurate record of all monies received on behalf of the student and required to provide the foundation with receipts as evidence of monies received and appropriate utilization of funds.

A full application, including two letters of recommendation, one from the student’s parent and the other from a school official or member of staff, a 500-word essay, the most current academic report and a photo ID must be received by the foundation in order for the student to be considered for the scholarship award.

Who is eligible to apply?

Any student residing within the nation of Nigeria that is attending any pre-university institution is qualified to apply.

We encourage teachers and school officials to submit to the foundation, names of students whom they have recognized to have more pressing need for the scholarship. However, please note that such nomination does not infer that the student will receive any preferential treatment during the selection process.

All applications will be evaluated based on pre-set scholarship standards.
