The High Chief Bode & Betty Osedimilehin Foundation recently awarded scholarships to 127 students from Owo and Ose local government areas in Ondo State. The beneficiaries include students from secondary and primary schools, medical students, and artisans who received empowerment support.
The foundation’s goal is to give back to the community and ensure no child is left out of school due to financial constraints. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa commended the foundation’s efforts, stating that his administration would continue to align with individuals passionate about promoting education and humanity.
Other foundations in Ondo State providing scholarships include the Gbenga Fawehinmi Foundation, which has awarded scholarships to over 11,000 students since its inception in 2016, and trained over 200 students in technology skills. The Lanre Briggs Foundation also provides fully funded university scholarships, while the Aiyeku Foundation Inc. offers scholarships to indigent students from Ondo State.
The Ondo State government has initiated scholarship programs, including a N350 million scholarship and bursary scheme for students of Ondo origin in higher institutions. These efforts aim to promote education and support the development of the state’s human capital.
