The Toyin Falola Centre

hereby announces the

Dr. Ediom Ogah Scholarship for Health Sciences

Objective of the Scholarship

The main objective of this scholarship scheme is to provide the funding for African diaspora students to pursue medical or health-related research at United States or European universities. Given the financial challenges that many diaspora Africans encounter in funding higher education, it is hoped that this scholarship will benefit the students selected and their community too.

Award Amount

The award will be for a maximum amount of US$20,000 per candidate per year, to cover tuition, books, and other expenses over the complete duration of studies.

Administration of the Award

The Toyin Falola Centre will administer the scholarship in its entirety.
