I am writing to share the profound impact that being a scholarship beneficiary of the Osaide for Girls Foundation has had on my life and educational journey. Since receiving this invaluable support, I have encountered numerous opportunities for personal and academic growth.

When I heard about the scholarship examination sponsored by the Osaide For Girls Foundation from my Course adviser, Dr Iheyen, I was reluctant to participate because all efforts to win a few scholarship exams during my first year in the University of Benin proved futile. I spoke with my mom about the examination and she advised me to participate in the screening exercise. When I realized that I had been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Osaide For Girls Foundation, I was dumbfounded and my joy knew no bounds.

The scholarship came just in time as my laptop had just crashed and I had been trying to raise money to get a new one. The financial assistance provided by the scholarship has relieved the burden of tuition costs, allowing me to focus more on my studies and actively participate in extracurricular activities, this has enhanced my academic performance.

Moreover, the scholarship has opened doors to networking opportunities, mentorship, and exposure to diverse perspectives. These experiences have broadened my horizon, providing me with valuable insights that go beyond the scope of my academic curriculum.

I am deeply grateful for the trust and belief that the scholarship committee has placed in me.  I am also grateful for the growth that has been facilitated by this scholarship.
