The screening exercise for the 2024 Psaltry Foundation Scholarship Scheme, named ‘Brilliant Students Scholarship Programme’ will hold on Saturday 25th May, 2024.
The exercise, targeting brilliant but indigent children of farmers willing to gain admission into higher institutions of learning will hold at the main hall of Iseyin District Grammar School (IDGS), Iseyin in Oyo State.
According to the Chairman of the Psaltry Foundation Scholarship Scheme, Alhaji Saheed Alaran during a parley with journalists in Iseyin on Saturday, the screening was put in place to ascertain those in real need of higher education, as the foundation was poised to cater for the children of farmers with no financial power to give support.
The former Chairman of Iseyin local government added that the scheme will cover hundred beneficiaries to study in courses in Law, Medicine, Agronomy, Engineering and sundry courses, with support for feeding and accommodation.
“This scheme was planned to benefit the children of mainly farmers who are willing to have academic achievement and get to management positions at Psaltry Farms Limited and other organizations.
“This screening will only help to pick those who are willing to work for the scholarship, it is part of the measures to give the beneficiaries opportunity to sit up and make better decisions about their futures,” he told reporters.
He went on to inform reporters that the registration forms for the scholarship scheme were still open to beneficiaries to obtain and submit till Friday 24th May, 2024.
