No fewer than seven undergraduate students from across Nigerian universities have benefited from the David Dickson Educational Foundation scholarship.
The awards were presented at the David Dickson Foundation’s second anniversary scholarship ceremony held in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, on Saturday.
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr Andrew Jegede, said the foundation was set up to give back to society and continue the values that David Dickson represented.
“The David Dickson Foundation was established to assist the needy, and as we know, education is paramount, and that is a good legacy that David Dickson was known for. David was a man of excellence, hard-working, focused and brilliant. Those are the qualities we want the beneficiaries to acquire. That is what the foundation is set to sustain,” Jegede said.
He thanked members of the Dickson family for their support and commitment to the foundation. Jegede added that the awardees must understand the importance of giving, saying the scholarships should inspire them to contribute positively to society.
