The Christopher Kolade Foundation SHE Soars Scholarship Program provides need-based financial sponsorship and mentorship to female graduates of public secondary schools in Nigeria who have secured admission into a Nigerian public university.SHE Soars launched in 2019 with five SHE Soars Scholars benefitting from the scholarship program.
Today, there are 24 Soars Scholars in 14 universities across the country.
