The Dare Adeboye Foundation has awarded scholarships to 300 students from underserved communities in Ogun and Osun states.
According to a statement on Thursday, the awards were presented during the 2025 Dare Adeboye Annual Scholarship Scheme Award Ceremony, held at the Dare Adeboye Innovation Hub, Redemption City.
The event brought together beneficiaries, parents, educators, and stakeholders in a celebration of academic excellence and the legacy of the foundation’s namesake.
Established in memory of the late Pastor Oluwadamilare Adeboye, son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the foundation aims to support promising students who face financial barriers to completing their education.
Each of the selected students, currently in SS3, received a scholarship of N50,000 to help cover the cost of their West African Senior School Certificate Examination, easing a major financial burden on their families.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the foundation, Pastor Leke Adeboye, underscored the importance of education in shaping the future of the country.
Education is the key to unlocking potential and creating future leaders,” Pastor Adeboye said. “Through this initiative, we are not just awarding scholarships; we are investing in the future of Nigeria.”
The scheme, which was implemented in partnership with the governments of Ogun and Osun states, involved a rigorous selection process.
Out of over 1,827 applications received, 726 students sat for screening exams—370 in Ogun and 356 in Osun.
From this pool, 300 students were selected based on academic merit.
The beneficiaries came from a diverse range of public secondary schools, including African Church Grammar School, Abeokuta Grammar School, Remo Secondary School, Akinorun Grammar School, Ikirun Anglican High School, and Apostolic Grammar School, Ilesa, among others.
Parents and students expressed deep appreciation to the foundation for its continued support. Many described the scholarship as a life-changing opportunity that would not only ease financial strain but also motivate the recipients to strive for academic excellence.
