Foundation awards scholarships to 300 students in Ogun, Osun

A Non-Governmental Organisation, Dare Adeboye Foundation, has awarded scholarship to 300 students in Ogun and Osun states.

The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, Pastor Leke Adeboye, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, indicated that the scholarship scheme was held in partnership with the Ogun and Osun governments, with four screening examination centres.

He said that the gesture was part of the foundation’s continued commitment to education and youth empowerment.

“Scholarships were given to 300 students from Ogun and Osun states at the 2025 Dare Adeboye Annual Scholarship Scheme Award Ceremony.

“The ceremony brought together beneficiaries, parents, educators, and key stakeholders to celebrate academic excellence and the foundation’s vision of supporting the next generation.

“Through this initiative, we are not just awarding scholarships; we are investing in the future of Nigeria,” he said.

The pastor emphasised the importance of education as a transformative tool in society and was key to unlocking potential and creating future leaders.

He said that the foundation remained dedicated to fostering education for students from underprivileged backgrounds.

“More than 1,827 persons applied for the scholarship in the two states and the 300 beneficiaries were picked based on their outstanding academic performance.

“The beneficiaries were students in the senior secondary school, who received financial support.

“This is to ease the burden of paying for their West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination to further their education and encourage their academic pursuits,” he said.

Adeboye said that the scholarship was established in honour of the late Pastor Oluwadamilare Adeboye, the son of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

“The scholarship recipients include students from African Church Grammar School, Abeokuta Grammar School, Remo Secondary School, Iganmode Grammar School, Asero High School and Comprehensive High School, Baptist Girls College.

“Others include Community High School and Magboro, Akinorun Grammar School, Ikirun, Anglican High School, Ansarul-Islam Grammar School, Ifon-Osun Edunabon, Apostolic Grammar School, Ilesa and Aromolaran Grammar School, Ilesa.(NAN)
