To assist the needy, a philanthropist and a member of the Baptist Academy Old Students Association (BAOSA), Afolabi Odetunde, has granted scholarship to indigent students of the school through his Scholarship Fund.
The scheme, which was established on May 12, 2021, is aimed at financially assisting indigent students of the school. The Fund, in conjunction with the Academy, identified five indigent students, who had lost their benefactors, who were responsible for paying their fees. The Fund is for the entire 2024/2025 academic session.
The students are: Philip Oshisanya, a JSS 2 day student; Reuben Oshisanya, a JSS3 day student; Okoli Chidalu Praise, a SSS1 boarder; Daniel Okagbare, SSS2 day student and Victor Ale, SSS2 day students.
The President, BAOSA, Mr. Akintunji Fatunke, noted that the grant/scholarship is a corporate social responsibility in education and giving back to the society.
“The decision was made for indigent students who had lost their parents or sponsors and those who could not pay their fees,” he said.
