The Femi Bewaji Foundation was established in 2026 to remove the financial barrier between exceptional Nigerian students and the education they have already earned. The model is deliberately simple — no complexity sits between a donor's commitment and a scholar's fees.
The Foundation identifies students who are academically exceptional and financially unable to continue. It funds the gap between what they have and what they need — directly, without ceremony.
Awards are disbursed to the institution before the fee deadline. Scholars are not asked to pay and claim. There is no bureaucracy between a scholar and their education.
Every naira donated goes to a named scholar. The Foundation's running costs are met privately. This is not a policy position — it is how the organisation is structured.
Full tuition support for academically exceptional Nigerian undergraduates from low-income backgrounds. The award covers tuition and compulsory fees at public universities for two academic sessions.
Twelve scholarships will be awarded in the 2026 cohort. Scholars also receive access to an internship opportunity at Fembol Group.
