“The collaborative projects initiated during her visit period have set the stage for continued academic excellence and global engagement,” he added, introducing Dr. Atim Eneida George, a Fullbright scholar, to the university.
Adeyemo stated: “In order to provide financial support to worthy students who encounter financial difficulties, Lead City University has established a number of scholarship programs. These scholarships are given out in accordance with our university’s specified standards as well as academic merit and financial necessity.
We make our educational possibilities accessible to students who would not otherwise be able to pursue higher education by providing these scholarships. In order to identify students in need of financial support, we actively interact with non-governmental organizations, government agencies, and local organizations.
We work to increase access to education by providing affordable tuition and flexible payment plans to students from low-income families. This makes it less likely that financial limitations will prevent someone from pursuing an education.
