What people are saying
When I got the scholarship, it wasn't just a relief, it was validation. Validation that young people from public universities, with big dreams and the right mindset, matter. That we are seen!
Peter Akinyode
University of Ilorin
It probably would have taken me 5 or more years if I was to be left by myself, but with this scholarship, Cowrywise has just bridged the gap between me and my dreams of building a career in finance. I'm really grateful!
Bethel Badau
Bingham University
Being a recipient of this scholarship means speed, it means ease, it means burden lifted for me, it means a mile of step than I expected, it is a golden opportunity which I do not take for granted, really!
Emmanuel Olayinka
Lagos State University
The CFA Program is globally recognized as the gold standard in finance. Receiving the Cowrywise x CFA scholarship means being granted the opportunity to join a prestigious global community of charter holders who embody rigor and expertise.
Olajumoke Ashogbon
University of Lagos
This scholarship is the bridge between my dreams and reality. As someone from a low-income background, the path to becoming a Portfolio Manager felt out of reach. This scholarship has removed that barrier, giving me access to opportunities I never thought possible.
