Scholarships & Grants

As a boy, Ajibade was sent out of an exam hall because his fees hadn't been paid. We give these awards so fewer people have to go through that.

Scholarships

For students in secondary school, polytechnic or university who are working hard but struggling to pay their fees.

The form will ask for:

  • Your name, phone number and email
  • Your school, class or course
  • Your most recent results
  • A few lines on why you need help

Grants

For families and individuals in and around Ile-Ife who are going through a hard time, or who need a little help to start or grow a small trade.

The form will ask for:

  • Your name, phone number and email
  • What the money would be used for
  • Roughly how much you need
  • Someone we can contact as a referee

Applying is free. The foundation will never ask you to pay anything to apply.
