The foundation awards grants to schools (primary and secondary), vocational education institutions, and registered non-profit organizations who share our vision of expanding access to education for underserved communities and students from low-income households.
One-time grants of between N100,000 to N1 million are awarded to schools and organizations through a thorough evaluation of applications and recommendations.
