The Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation has launched scholarship awards for young Nigerians at high school and undergraduate levels.
The Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation Scholarship covers the full tuition fees of selected candidates who are enrolled in high schools, and tertiary institutions.
Eligibility Requirements
To be considered for the Rasheedat Ajibade Scholarship, you MUST meet the following general requirements:
- Student Level: Open to secondary school students (e.g., those preparing for SSCE/WAEC exams) and university undergraduates across Nigeria. Priority may be given to those in public or low-cost institutions.
- Nationality and Location: Must be Nigerian citizens or residents studying in Nigeria. The program is nationwide, with no regional restrictions.
- Financial Need: Demonstrated need for support with education-related costs, such as exam fees (WAEC, JAMB), tuition, or registration.
- Academic Merit: Applicants MUST be academically sound with proof to show
Applicants are encouraged to apply if they are at risk of dropping out due to costs. Unlike larger government scholarships, there are no complex tests or interviews; selection relies on application completeness and need assessment.
Benefits
The Back 2 School scholarship provides targeted financial relief rather than full-ride coverage, focusing on immediate barriers to education. Key benefits include:
- Financial Award: Direct cash grants to cover specific costs.
- Exam and Registration Support: Covers fees for national exams like WAEC, NECO, or JAMB, preventing delays in academic progression.
- Tuition Assistance: Partial funding for secondary or university term fees, helping students stay enrolled.
- Additional Perks: Access to the foundation’s network, including mentorship from Ajibade and potential ties to sports or leadership programs. Beneficiaries often receive motivational resources, such as study materials or community events.
- Long-Term Impact: Renewability is possible for strong performers. The program aims to foster a “brighter academic year” by reducing dropout rates among underprivileged youth.
Required Documents
To apply, candidates must be ready to submit the following documents;
- Essay briefly explaining why you need this scholarship
- Proof of Unpaid Fees
- Recent School Result
- School Bank Account Details for Payment (No payments will be made to personal or individual accounts)
