This was to ensure that no Lagos State indigene in any tertiary institution is deprived of the opportunity of attaining his/her educational dream due to non-availability of funds.
The award of Scholarship is basically in two forms. The first Form is awarded on compassionate grounds (that is for primary and secondary school students).
The second form is put in place to encourage brilliant academic performance with a minimum CGPA of 3.5 and above or Second Class Upper/ Upper Credit
