Aliko Dangote Foundation launches brilliant N100bn scholarship fund for 1.3m Nigerians<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He stated that the Aliko Dangote Foundation-funded scholarship program would cost more than N1 trillion over the course of the following ten years, starting in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot allow financial hardship to silence the dreams of our young people, not when the future of our nation depends on their skills, resilience and leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Dangote, the program is anticipated to assist 45,000 new scholars annually, growing to 155,000 beneficiaries by the fourth year and continuing at that level for the next ten years.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that 1,325,000 children would have benefited from the program by 2036.<\/p>\n

The Aliko Dangote STEM Scholars program, which will assist 30,000 undergraduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at public universities and polytechnics nationwide each year, is one of the Aliko Dangote Foundation’s initiative’s main focusses.<\/p>\n

According to Dangote<\/a>, each recipient would get tuition assistance that is in line with the costs of their program and school.<\/p>\n

\"BREAKING!<\/p>\n

\u201cSTEM drives development. If Nigeria must compete globally, our young minds must have the tools to learn, imagine and innovate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The initiative, the entrepreneur noted, will expand higher education access and keep financially vulnerable Nigerian students in school.<\/p>\n
