Yale University Alumni to Offer Nigerian Students Scholarship

By Correspondent

The alumni members of Yale University under the aegis of Yale Club are set to introduce a scholarship scheme that would provide exceptional Nigerian students opportunity to attend the university, in Connecticut, United States. They disclosed this during their recent meeting in Lagos, Nigeria. Dr. Haroun Adamu, who is the president of the club and founder of Zaria Academy, disclosed that the club’s number one goal is to create awareness about its existence and objectives, with one of the aims being to attract more qualified Nigerian students to the institution and encourage other accomplished alumni members in the diaspora to return home and contribute their quota to Nigeria’s development. He reiterated that the club is using the medium to sensitise Nigerians who have either heard of Yale or would want their children to attend the institution about its willingness to assist their wards not only for admission purposes but also for scholarship opportunities. Adamu explained; ”˜Any student that goes through the rigorous Yale examination process and emerges successfully automatically deserves a scholarship. There is no question about his ability or inability; he is on scholarship automatically. ”˜We intend to create a forum, organise lectures and we will invite professors, Nobel laureates to come and share with us their latest research findings in all fields. This will expose Nigerians to what is happening in the world of research. ”˜These are the kinds of things we are trying to achieve apart from Yale itself trying to engage with institutions in Africa,’ he added.
