EduScholar Lottery

Making Education Accessible

What is the EduScholar Project?

EduScholar Lottery is an innovative project by the Bridge to Wealth Foundation. We created it to solve a pressing issue: thousands of brilliant Nigerian students secure university admission or enroll in tertiary institutions, but face dropouts because they cannot afford tuition fees.

EduScholar removes connections, bias, and favoritism from the scholarship process. By participating in a verified, public lottery structure, every student gets a completely equal chance to win complete school fee sponsorships.
