--The Toyin Falola Center
hereby announces the
2020 Toyin Falola and Joseph Friesen Scholarship
(TFJF Scholarship)
Objective of the Scholarship
Dr. Toyin Falola (Jr) and Joseph Friesen hereby institute a scholarship scheme to benefit young people wishing to pursue university education in the fields of science or medicine at Nigeria universities. For the 2020 competition, only students in math and software engineering at First Technical University will be considered.
Recognizing that many brilliant, hardworking, and deserving Nigerian young people are unable to enter or remain in university specifically due to the lack of funds to complete their studies, this scholarship award aims to help two young Nigerians over a two-year period to achieve their dreams in order to make contributions to the development and progress of the Nigerian nation.
Award Amount
The award will be for $3,000 per candidate, divided up into annual installments over two years ($1,500 dollars per year). There will be two scholarship winners. The goal will be to cover tuition, books, and other school related expenses.
Administration of the Award
The process of advertisement, evaluation of applications, selection of candidates, verification of claims and documents, monitoring of progress, disbursement of award, and sundry other related tasks shall be undertaken by the Toyin Falola Center on behalf of Dr. Toyin Falola and Joseph Friesen, the grantors.
Criteria for selection
The scholarship will be awarded to students who demonstrate excellence in academic achievement, promising leadership qualities, and outstanding character. Academic achievement is recognized as outstanding achievement in all of WAEC/SSCE, UTME and first year examinations already undertaken by the candidate. Consistent high achievement is important for selection and retention on the scholarship. Other abilities must be evidenced by candidate's prior record and attested to by relevant individuals in her/his community. The candidate must also clearly show evidence of indigence and inability to pay fees without the aid of the scholarship.
Note that:
- Candidates must have completed the first year of studies and fulfill all criteria as set by the Toyin Falola Center.
- A candidate whose application is successful will have the distinction of being named a Toyin Falola and Joseph Friesen (TFJF) Scholar for the duration of the award.
Requirements/Conditions of the scholarship
If any of the following conditions are not met, subsequent installments of the scholarship will not be granted to the student:
The TFJF Scholar must maintain the academic distinction at the minimum grade level of Second Class Upper Division, and character qualities identified upon the award throughout her/his studentship;
The TFJF Scholar must remain at the institution/university approved for the scholarship; and
The TFJF Scholar must complete annual reports to be sent to the Toyin Falola Center about her/his progress including updated official transcripts and current GPA.
Candidates must ensure that their application documents are authentic and are a true reflection of the criteria of the award. Any fraud discovered in the Scholar's application documents or in her/his claims will lead to an immediate forfeiture of the scholarship (if already awarded), formal report to the university, a public disclaimer, and the repayment of any part of the award already disbursed to the individual as at the time of the discovery.
Application dates
Applications this year are accepted between May 1, 2020, and July 15, 2020. The selected candidates for this year will be announced by August 15, 2020.
Required application documents:
o A completed application form

This way my associate Wesley Virgin's adventure begins with this shocking and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.
THESE are the exact same secrets tons of celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this conversation has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years back, while riding an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and $3 on his banking card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"
You've taken part in those types of thoughts, ain't it so?
Your success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
