late General Owoye Andrew Azazi
The General Owoeye Andrew Azazi Foundation (GOAAF) is awarding academic scholarships to some of the brightest and most promising but indigent students who have financial set back from leaving primary six to Junior Secondary (JS) one, JS three to Senior Secondary (SS) one and SS three to tertiary institutions.
Each scholar will receive a full academic scholarship which includes
tuition, room and board per year for the duration of the academic
career, at an accredited secondary or tertiary institution.
The Director of the foundation, Mrs. Akpo-Olade Okoro, in a statement,
said the applicants will be selected based on resident and indigenous
students of Bayelsa State, successful completion of foundation
scholarship examination scheduled to hold on August 16 at the Women’s
Affairs Auditorium, Ovom, Yenagoa, as well as evidence of unmet
financial need.
Once selected, she said, each scholar will be expected to maintain
stated academic expectations in fulfilment of the requirements in order
to keep the scholarship.
The GOAAF, founded in 2013, is a non-profit, private independent
organisation dedicated to advancing the education of exceptionally
promising Nigerian students who have financial challenge. It seeks to
raise leaders through scholarship and mentorship.
The foundation according to the statement, is inspired by the memory of
the late General Owoye Andrew Azazi and his undying aspiration to
contribute to the Nigerian youth.
“It is centred on a commitment to excellence while providing
opportunity for the underprivileged. Since its inception to date, the
foundation has a scholarship recipient currently studying at a Nigerian
private university,” it stated.
