100 Nigerians Awarded Scholarships and Mentorship by i-Scholar Initiative for 2024

The i-Scholar Initiative (iSI), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has unveiled the names of 100 Nigerians set to benefit from its annual scholarship program. This initiative aims to mentor and empower young African students to pursue graduate studies by providing access to fully-funded scholarships at prestigious foreign universities through its network of partners.

The scholarships offered by iSI cover expenses for standardized tests such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which are prerequisites for admission to leading universities in North America and Europe.
