The Henry Ofili Scholarship, in partnership with The Destiny Trust, provides opportunities for academically gifted children and young adults from underprivileged backgrounds to excel in STEM fields.
Our primary goal is to assist exceptional students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who exhibit outstanding academic abilities and a strong dedication to pursuing STEM disciplines.
Administered by The Destiny Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to the education, welfare, and empowerment of children and youth in vulnerable situations, The Henry Ofili Foundation Scholarship aims to utilize education as a tool for concrete empowerment, enabling young individuals to break the cycle of poverty that spans generations.
A significant 98% of university students supported by The Destiny Trust are the first in their families to pursue undergraduate education, thereby closing longstanding educational disparities and promoting the socio-economic inclusion of more underprivileged children, families, and communities. Since 2012, over 20,000 children and young people have benefited from educational opportunities at all levels, resulting in numerous success stories of transformed lives.
