Lagos State Beneficiaries |
The administrative base of the Foundation is Lagos State; hence, the decision to extend its scholarship scheme to the area. Two sets of examinations were conducted in 2012 – May 10 & August 30, with the support of the State Ministry of Education. In a keen competition among 26 finalists from the six zones of the State, twenty were successful.
The Foundation promptly took on the responsibility of seeing them through secondary school. |

To the Glory of God, the Foundation is happy to report that the school fees of all its beneficiaries both in Secondary schools and Tertiary institutions have been paid up for the 2018/2019 academic session. |
