Five graduates.
₦6,350,000
Every application is scored on the same four things: how clear the plan is, whether it can actually be done, how much the money would change things, and where you expect to be a year later. The strongest five are ranked, and the ranking decides the amount.

Winners announced
Five graduates are told directly, then announced here. Everyone else gets a reply too. Nobody is left wondering.
Where we come from
Omuo-Oke Ekiti raised a lot of people who now live somewhere else.
Some went to Ado, Ibadan or Lagos for school. Some went further. Many still send money home, and many would like to come back and build something.
The foundation exists to make that easier, one person at a time, starting with the ones who just finished school.
Applying is free. We will never ask you for money, your BVN, or your bank PIN.
