The Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) invites interested applicants to apply for the Foundation’s Tertiary Education Scholarships for the academic year 2021/2022.
Quality education cultivates a person’s mind and character while also teaching them the skills they need to thrive in life and contribute to society. The Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) recognizes this link and works to foster a vibrant Nigerian community through significant educational interventions, including the annual offering of undergraduate scholarships to deserving students.
As a result, the Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2021/2022 edition of its undergraduate scholarship program. The scheme was created to provide financial assistance to destitute students who have ancestors from – or are now residing in – Abia State.
Scholarships will be given out based on a strong academic background, leadership potential, and a demonstrated desire to apply what they’ve learned to help others. Winners should use their talents and knowledge to improve the lives of others once they have completed their studies. The Foundation hopes its scholarship recipients to develop into a strong network of leaders who will individually and collectively contribute to the well-being of Abia State and Nigeria in general.
