Founder of scholarship outfit Born Rising Achievers, Olasumbo Ogunsola says the organisation has started preparing for the next application cycle after it picked students beneficiaries for this year.
Founded in March, Ogunsola said rising tuition fees and high inflation which put education out of reach for many youth across the country inspired her.
“The urgency to support tomorrow’s leaders has never been greater.

“At Born Rising Achievers, we’re addressing this critical need. We have already awarded full-ride scholarships to three promising students, each of whom is on a mission to create lasting change for their families and communities.”
“Our mission is clear, to remove financial barriers so that brilliant young minds can access the education they deserve, unlocking doors to personal success and uplifting entire communities.” The founder noted.
She also called on well meaning Nigerians to support the project so that many more students could benefit and attain greatness through education.
“One of our beneficiaries this year is one Chidera, a first-year medical student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), she dreams of transforming Nigeria’s healthcare system. As the only one in her family pursuing higher education, Chidera is determined to bring quality healthcare to underserved.”
The next application window for the scholarship will open in August 2025.
