For students from families experiencing financial hardship, the cost of senior secondary school examinations can become a barrier to educational progress. GIPSED’s annual Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) sponsorship helps students meet registration costs and pursue the qualifications needed for further education, training and employment.
The program serves students across Odo-Otin, Ifelodun and Boripe Local Government Areas of Osun State. Each selected beneficiary receives sponsorship for either WAEC or NECO examination registration.
How the programme works
GIPSED works with school principals, teachers, and the Nigeria Union of Teachers to reach prospective beneficiaries and coordinate the application and selection process.
Applicants provide information about their school, academic background and whether they already receive support through DMO Scholars. The application process connects students, their families and their schools, helping GIPSED organize support around each beneficiary’s education.
Assessment and selection
Candidates take an assessment covering English Language, Mathematics and either Biology, Government or Economics, according to their academic stream.
Assessment performance helps guide the selection of beneficiaries. GIPSED then funds examination registration for selected students, reducing the financial pressure on their families.
The programme complements DMO Scholars and annual UTME sponsorship by supporting students at an important transition in their education.
