Purpose of the IDPIL Scholarship and Bursary Awards
IDPIL created the scholarship and bursary scheme to give education support to students from Ikorodu Division.
The body said the award aims to encourage strong academic performance and help build a human development base that can support future growth in the division.
The scheme also responds to the financial pressure faced by many families after COVID-19 and the global economic slump; IDPIL noted that such pressure has made it harder for some parents to meet school needs and has placed some young people at risk of dropping out, crime, cultism and hooliganism.
