Sage Grey Finance Limited, a licensed financial institution, has awarded scholarships to five outstanding students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) as part of its undergraduate scholarship programme.

The scholarship programme, targeted at high-performing students in Management Sciences and Engineering, provided a financial grant of N100,000 each to five deserving undergraduates.

The beneficiaries were selected based on academic excellence, with a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.0 and a screening process that excluded those already benefiting from other scholarships.

Commenting on the initiative, Vice President and Head, Compliance and Internal Audit of the firm, Adeyeye Sijuade, said the initiative is a reflection of the company’s long-term vision to empower the next generation of leaders.

“We are investing not just in individuals but in the future of our country. These students represent the kind of excellence and integrity we want to see more of, and we’re proud to support their journey,” Sijuade stated.

The 2025 recipients, namely Francisca Sunday, Chuwutem Okudibie, Gabriel Akogun, Yusuf Barika, and David Emmanuel, are from Lagos, Delta, Edo, Kwara, and Anambra States, respectively, showcasing the diversity and academic promise of the Nigerian student population.

Each of them was recognised not only for their academic performance, but also for their potential to contribute meaningfully to society in the years ahead.

The firm disclosed that the scholarship scheme is designed to grow, with plans already in motion to expand the number of beneficiaries in future academic sessions.

The company sees the programme not only as a form of educational support, but as part of its broader commitment to building a more equitable and empowered society through strategic, value-driven financial intervention.

An elated Akogun, a student of Computer Engineering, said the award was a reward for the years of hard work over the last couple of years.”
