MTN Foundation’s broader aim is to bridge the educational gap in the country and ensure that no student is left behind due to financial constraints.

Through these efforts, MTN Foundation has solidified its position as a leading force for social good in Nigeria, showing that the private sector can play a pivotal role in driving societal progress. The impact of its scholarships continues to ripple across communities, transforming lives and building a brighter future for Nigeria.
