With a holistic combination of academic and wellness programming, the BUILD Nigeria Cohort Program is a free one-year program, that works with a group of high-achieving, low-income and first-generation Nigerian students to provide them with personalised guidance.
This is done through applying, securing admission and full financial aid to world-class universities, and connecting them with resources to succeed at these universities.
The program provides free college counselling, application workshops and college preparedness programming, and completely funds the entire journey to college, from test fees to student visa costs.
Co-founded by Yale college student Ifeoluwa Adeogun and Harvard alum Tolulope Olasewere, and a team of young Nigerians attending Tufts, Wharton, Princeton, Yale and Pan Atlantic Universities, BUILD Nigeria’s ultimate vision is to create and invest in the growing community of globally educated, well-connected, highly skilled and passionate Nigerians who can take on the challenge of creating efficient systems and a better future for Nigeria.
