Chinese Foundation to Award Scholarships to LASU Students

The Centennial Spring Seedlings Programme (CSSP), sponsored by a Chinese foundation, is set to award scholarships to 22 outstanding undergraduates of Lagos State University (LASU). Each student will receive ₦1 million.

A four-member interview panel from Yingke Africa (Nigeria) Consultancy Limited, facilitators of the CSSP, conducted the final stage of the selection process. All 22 shortlisted candidates emerged successful.

The delegation paid a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, commending LASU students for their academic performance and conduct during the selection process.

The awardees will receive the grant once final documentation is completed in September 2025. The CSSP aims to support high-achieving students across Africa through tuition assistance, mentorship, and internship placements in China.
