GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS TO YOUTH IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN NIGERIA. Can you donate ₦5,000 Naira to support youth scholarships?
Give a scholarship to youth in higher education in Nigeria. We want to send 23 less privileged youths to the high institutions through our scholarship program. Each scholarship is $650 for one child annually. Can you donate $5 for a child to support our scholarship program?
Project Summary
The purpose of this campaign is to help raise funds for students for 2021/2022 academic year and provide scholarships for less privileged youth in Nigeria. Aspiring to be admitted into tertiary institutions is the primary pursuit of all bright students who have passed through secondary educational institutions here in Nigeria.
Decades ago, the government as a matter of policy, awarded scholarships to students to study in Nigerian, supervised their study in tertiary institutions and encouraged them to pursue an interest in various disciplines of study. Nowadays the reverse is the case, meaning that bright students who on account of lack financial support, will never be able to attend institutions of higher learning. These bright students are unable to achieve their dreams. There are many large business corporations generating millions of dollars but not many are interested in funding education for these poor aspiring students. Therein lies the need for philanthropic intervention for the benefit of those unfortunate students.
CHALLENGES
Most students in the tertiary institutions in this region of Nigeria experience severe hardship, not only on account of poverty but also due to the deplorable state of university infrastructure which is begging for rehabilitation. Many poor students spend years trying to save money for higher education but that money is used for other basic necessities. Sourcing of scholarship awards through funding is what HSDF is bent on realizing so that these bright students can make a better future for themselves and their communities.
SOLUTION
HSDF intends to appeal for financial assistance to philanthropic organizations and people so that the future of these underprivileged students can be developed. We believe that no amount is too small and that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. We have identified potentially bright students whose higher education is at a standstill because of financial issues and we plan to use the donated funds for this purpose.
₦292,500 Naira will give scholarships to youth in higher education in Nigeria university annually.
