A non-government organisation making quality education accessible, Values of Affordable Education (VOA) is set to empower more Nigerian students with the VOA Foundation Scholarship Scheme for the 2024–2025 academic year.
The founder and philanthropist, Olabisi Adekoya, said this year’s scholarship programme includes the arts for us to holistically address the gap between our school kids.
According to her, “Though we started with STEM, we accept the difficulty in separating arts from STEM. In this day and age, this integration is resounding, from making or learning history, farming, cooking, and engineering designs to a pharmacist formulating medications, etc.
The Founder noted that the scholarship is primarily for students with financial need. Other requirements for application include submission of a one-page “Personal Essay” (including a biographical sketch, educational aspirations, community service, and career goals).

Olabisi noted that scholarship awardees may enrol in private universities/institutions in Nigeria, adding that upon completion of enrolment, the school registrar must send verification of admission, enrolment, and curriculum to the VOA Foundation.
Adekoya said applications received will be screened and verified, anticipating many more applications for the VOA Foundation Scholarship.
