According to UNICEF, one in every five of the world’s out-of-school children is in Nigeria and access to quality education is hard to come by and can be expensive. Project No Excuses is a needs and merit-based scholarship program, that seeks to cover the annual cost of primary/secondary school education and provide health insurance, clothing and nutritional support to children who have demonstrated excellence in their studies, but whose families are unable to meet the economic demands of education.
Since awarding its first scholarship in 2012, PNE has supported over 50 deserving beneficiaries with full educational scholarships and wraparound support across primary and secondary school.
