Launched in 2019, the program provides need-based financial sponsorship to female graduates of Nigerian public secondary schools and matches the girls with successful career and business women for mentorship.
Today, there are 26 SOARS Scholars in 14 universities across the country studying Medicine and Surgery, Mechatronics Engineering, Physiotherapy, Aeronautics, Astronautic Engineering, Agricultural Extension, Psychology, Law, and Accounting.
