BENEFICIARY OF UNILAG ENDOWMENT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD EXPRESSES GRATITUDE TO UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT

A beneficiary of the University of Lagos Scholarship Award, Yusuf Olatunji of the Department of Geography and Planning has expressed gratitude to authorities of the University for initiating the scheme.

He stated this in a letter of appreciation addressed to the University’s Dean of Student Affairs.

Olatunji, who finished his course with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.82 in August, 2011, attributed his academic success to the award which alleviated his financial burden. Below is the full text of the letter:

“I am glad to have the opportunity to thank you personally and to express my sincere and deep appreciation for your kindness and the generosity you demonstrated to me and all scholars as recipients of the University of Lagos Endowment Scholarship. Your contribution was very significant and helped in achieving my goal with unquestionable success.

“Growing up in a poverty-ridden home where I personally had to work very hard to make ends meet has made me realize the value of University education. I was born into the family of Mr. and Mrs. Yusuf, where my parent had to work round the clock to cater for little out of my many needs. Infact, I will be the first in my family to attend the University and I hope to set a good example for my siblings and posterity. The granting of this scholarship has definitely paved my way to greater horizons. It has been my childhood dream to hold a Bachelor of Science from a reputable University like ours. To the glory of God, I recently graduated in August 2011 with a First Class in Geography and Planning (CGGPA of 4.82).
                                                                                                                                          
This has been a real accomplishment for me and something I have worked very hard to achieve.

“This dream would not have come true without the University of Lagos Endowment Scholarship that was awarded to me. For my financial disability to meet the cost of pursuing such a course would not have permitted me to continue. For someone like me who doesn’t have any financial backing, this scholarship holds even greater importance to me. The University of Lagos Endowment Scholarship lightened my financial burden from my first year till date which allowed me to focus more on the most important aspect of school learning and also gave me stronger motivation to work towards excellence. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope, one day, I will be able to help students achieve their goals and dreams, just as you have helped me.

“I will forever appreciate and would like to convey my sincere thanks to the University of Lagos Alumni Association and other Endowment Partners for all their philanthropic support to humanity in all ramifications particularly at periods I needed them most. God bless you real good, Sir/Ma. I promise to work very hard and be a good ambassador of this great University wherever I go, and eventually give something back to others, both as an environmental scientist and possibly scholarship to future students.

“As a fresh graduate, my plans include pursuing a Master’s Degree in International Development (Environment, Resources & Development) and if given the opportunity, a PhD in United Kingdom or United States of America. I do not only have a passion for the environment and its resources, I also have a vision to help make the global community a safer place to live.

“Once again, I offer my sincere thanks to all for their generous support. Thank you Sir, from the core of my heart.”
