Education
Fund

About

Every year since 2019, I have been privately sponsoring educational initiatives, investing an average of $3,500 - 5,000 annually in tuition payments and educational support of university level students.

Reading, learning and getting an education changed the trajectory of my life and I strongly believe this is also possible for many other young Nigerians but finances can be a huge blocker to it coming to fruition. ( my brother and ) I were raised by a single mum who worked overtime and spared no expenses in making sure we had decent education, covered tuition, bought books and a shit ton of old newspapers/novels for us to improve our knowledge amongst others.

For a lot of reasons, not everyone would have that.

Objective

The scholarship program aims to support promising students who demonstrate exceptional potential but face financial barriers to their education. My only goal is to enable these students to focus on their studies without the burden of financial constraints and excel at it.

Eligibility

  • Currently enrolled or admitted to an accredited federal/state institution
  • Must not be enrolled or admitted to a private university
  • Must be in your second year upwards. First year students not accepted.
  • Strong academic performance over the last session (minimum 4.0 GPA or equivalent)
  • Demonstrated financial need
  • Clear career goals & aspirations

Benefits

Selected scholars receive:

  • Financial support for tuition and (some) academic expenses
  • no mentorship opportunities
  • No career guidance & support from my end. Smart people figure these things out themselves, you will figure it out
  • Only benefit is financial support. Nothing more, I am just a random guy on the internet, not so helpful asides finances
