Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has introduced a new scholarship programme called the “Imole Statewide Public and Private Schools Students SSCE Scholarship.” This programme is to help students who perform well in their Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).
The scholarship, which is supported by Electronic Collections Group (ECG), will cover students from both public and private schools in all 30 local government areas and the area office of Osun State.
According to the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Hon. Dipo Eluwole, the overall best student in the state will receive a scholarship of ₦1,000,000 (One Million Naira). Also, the best student in public and private schools in each local government will get ₦100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) as a scholarship award.
Apart from students, the best-performing public and private schools will receive ₦500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) to improve their learning environment. Teachers who have helped these students succeed will also receive special gifts to appreciate their efforts.
Hon. Eluwole said that this scholarship is part of the government’s plan to make education better and encourage students to work hard. He advised teachers and school administrators to prepare their students well for the 2025 WAEC SSCE so they can win the scholarship.
The winners of the scholarship will be announced after the SSCE results are released.
