The registered copyright owners of www.studyscholarshipng.com , Consumer Vibe, is collaborating with First Bank of Nigeria Plc to empower Nigerians with an opportunity for quality education through the initiative.
The company said on Monday that the initiative, which was aimed at giving everyone equal opportunity of non-merit study scholarship for prospective and existing students to study in Nigeria and abroad regardless of state of origin, was aimed at using the online framework to empower Nigerians.
According to the project Operations Manager, Mr. Olakunle Kassim, many have often been denied opportunities of quality education with the use of quotas such as state of origin or merit and average students were left to contend with the challenges without necessary tools.
He said the online platform was now equipped to give wider opportunities to people without them necessarily being present, adding that what was needed was the required access to link.
“With studyscholarshipng.com anyone can aspire to study anywhere in the world they choose, no matter who they are, regardless of their state of origin. The millions of Nigerians who struggle for limited Nigerian universities and polytechnics admission spaces every year can now spread their choice of institution worldwide using an internet portal,” Kassim said.
He explained that applicants would be able to register online in their chosen category using the registration scratch cards purchased from designated First Bank branches nationwide listed on the study scholarship website. “Given the right opportunity and study environment, every student will perform to the best of their ability,” he added.
