At One Youth , we believe that education is a collective responsibility. 

To this end, our Students-Led Scholarship Program was conceived as a way for university students to support the education of indigent secondary school students within their communities. 

This initiative is not just about expanding our reach but also about fostering responsible citizenship, encouraging young people to move beyond discussions and take concrete actions to solve real-life educational challenges.

Our Impact So Far

Since its inception, the Students-Led Scholarship Program has successfully awarded 21 scholarships, including:

✔️ 4 full-time scholarships covering complete education support.

✔️ 17 one-time tuition payments to ensure students stay in school.

 

But this is just the beginning. We are committed to doing more and expanding our impact to reach even more students in need.

Changing the Narrative

Nigeria has over 20 million out-of-school children, one of the highest numbers in the world. Our goal is to change this trend by ensuring that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a child’s education.

Through this scholarship program, we are paving the way for a future where every child has access to quality education, regardless of their background.

By mobilizing young people to take action, One youth is not only providing scholarships but also building a culture of community-driven solutions where education becomes a shared commitment for a better tomorrow.
