The Omaplex Law School Scholarship

THE OMAPLEX LAW SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP

2021

Scope:

The Omaplex Law School Scholarship is a project that aims to grant full tuition scholarships to exceptional, disadvantaged and indigent Nigerian law students to study at the Nigerian Law School.

Africa, particularly Nigeria, is endowed with a wealth of human and natural resources; we have been gifted with great minds who have the desire to succeed and the determination to put in all that is required. However, it is common knowledge that due to financial constraints, some of these worthy individuals may struggle to reach some success.

Around the world, people are needed to take up the mantle of leadership and proffer significant solutions to global concerns. With this in mind, it has become the Omaplex Foundation’s purpose to take up this tremendous task by catering to one legal mind after another, ensuring that, to the best of its capacity, the financial burden of attending the Nigerian Law School is reduced for deserving law students.
