FORUM AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS TO 10 YABATECH STUDENTS
Young Executive Forum extends financial relief to disadvantaged undergraduates, covering full-session tuition costs to ease economic strain
The Young Executive Forum has awarded full-session tuition scholarships to ten financially disadvantaged students of the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH).
The intervention is designed to cushion the impact of rising educational overheads and economic pressures on vulnerable undergraduates within the institution.
Beneficiaries were selected across various departments following a rigorous screening process that evaluated financial need, academic commitment, and overall discipline.
Representatives of the forum noted that the initiative forms part of their corporate social responsibility and youth development strategy, aimed at keeping brilliant minds in school despite economic hurdles.
College authorities and student union representatives commended the gesture, emphasizing that private sector support remains crucial in complementing government efforts toward accessible tertiary education.
The scholarship package covers major institutional fees for the current academic session, offering renewed hope and stability to the recipients as they pursue their academic goals.
