We fund the gap between ability and opportunity.
The Femi Bewaji Foundation removes the financial barriers that stop exceptional young Nigerians from completing their education. We do not fund potential we cannot see — we fund students who have already shown what they are capable of.
Our programs are deliberately simple. Awards are paid directly to institutions and exam bodies before deadlines, and running costs are met privately — so every donor naira reaches a named scholar.
Awards go to institutions and exam bodies — not to scholars' accounts. No bureaucracy, no delays.
Running costs are privately underwritten. Every donated naira goes to a named beneficiary.
Selection rests on demonstrated academic excellence and verified financial need.
Awards reach students across the country — not one city, not one campus.
Two programs. Two critical moments in a student's journey.
Undergraduate Scholarship
Full tuition support for academically exceptional Nigerian undergraduates from low-income households, enrolled in public universities across Nigeria.
Pathway Scholarship
WAEC and JAMB registration fees for final-year secondary students in Osun State who have the grades and the drive — but not the registration fee.
Simple by design. Intentionally.
Nothing complex sits between a donor's commitment and a scholar's fees. Every part of the operating model is built around that single principle.
Money lands before fees are due
Awards are disbursed directly to the institution or exam body before the deadline. Scholars are never asked to pay and claim.
Every naira reaches a named beneficiary
The Foundation's operating costs are met privately. Donations are not used for administration, staff, or overhead.
Performance is supported and tracked
Scholars share their results each session. Awards are renewable, subject to continued academic performance.
Every naira you give has a name on it.
Your gift is allocated directly to a named scholar or beneficiary — before their deadline, without bureaucracy.
