The Ikorodu Division Peace Initiative Limited (IDPIL) developed the IDPIL Scholarship/Bursary Scheme with the goal of assisting students in realizing their academic aspirations. The initiative, which has a substantial N30 million scholarship and bursary fund, guarantees that both Ikorodu Division natives and residents enrolled in public postsecondary institutions nationwide will have access to high-quality education.
The IDPIL Scholarship/Bursary Scheme’s Objective
The two main goals of this plan are as follows:
- Encouraging High-quality Education: Creating a center for the development of human resources, encouraging academic success, and developing potential in the Ikorodu Division.
- Supporting Students Who Face Financial Difficulties: Encouraging students whose families have experienced financial difficulties to pursue higher education, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
