Nigerian philanthropist, Alex Onyia, has announced his search for 20 exceptional students who excelled in the 2024 West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams.
Onyia is working with an organization dedicated to providing scholarships for these brilliant minds, aiming to secure their admission into Ivy League Universities.
Onyia has specified the stringent criteria for eligibility: students must have achieved A1 grades in all nine subjects they took during the WAEC exams.
Those who meet these criteria will be offered sponsorship to apply for a two-year program at the esteemed United World Colleges (UWC), which serves as a stepping stone to Ivy League institutions.
His statement reads:
“I’m looking for 20 students who scored all A’s in 2023/2024 WAEC exams. Their results will have to be 100% genuine and reflection of their exceptional intelligence.
“An organisation reached-out to me today and is interested in sponsoring the students application to United World Colleges. It’s an intensive 2 year program only available for exceptionally smart students. It’s a rigorous program.
“Once they successfully go through the program, they can gain full scholarships to Ivy League schools like Harvard, MIT, Stanford etc.
“The program is done in 18 different countries ranging from US, Canada, Singapore etc. So the successful students will move to any of these countries for the 2 year program.”
