The University of Ibadan has received an additional sum of Five Million Naira for the establishment of the Florence Fakolujo Scholarship for the financial support of deserving students pursuing their studies in Psychology at the Department of Psychology, University of Ibadan.
The scholarship scheme is being instituted by a dedicated supporter of education and social welfare, eager to contribute to students’ academic advancement. He has, however, chosen to remain anonymous.
It will be an annual scholarship scheme for indigent students to alleviate the financial burden faced by students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, thus enabling them to focus more on their studies and professional development within the field of Psychology.
