We recognize the innate potential of every young person to achieve lifelong fulfillment and collectively invest in resilient youth who are taking up the power to transform the social and economic circumstances of their families and communities
The Henry Chijioke Ofili Foundation is dedicated to supporting the education of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who demonstrate exceptional academic potential and are pursuing undergraduate degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The scholarship is administered by The Destiny Trust , a social intervention organization focused on the education, wellbeing, and empowerment of children and young people from vulnerable groups.
Through this collaboration, we recognize the innate potential of every young person to achieve lifelong fulfillment and collectively invest in resilient youth who are taking up the power to transform the social and economic circumstances of their families and communities.
The scholarship identifies and supports outstanding talents in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines who may be unable to start or continue their undergraduate degree programs due to economic challenges. It aims to enable these students to pursue their degrees by providing essential financial assistance and resources.
As a broader goal, we are contributing to nurturing Africa's next generation of leaders in STEM fields, particularly from the demographic of youth who may be the first in their families to acquire higher degrees; students who are taking on leadership, breaking boundaries, and setting new possibilities to inspire change.
