Sage Grey Finance Limited, a financial institution licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has awarded undergraduate scholarships to five university students as part of its ongoing efforts to invest in the future of Nigerian youths through education. The awards were presented during the second edition of its Undergraduate Scholarship Programme Award Ceremony, held at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
Commitment to Academic Excellence
During the ceremony, Mr. Taiwo Olutunda, Impact Officer of Sage Grey Finance Limited, reaffirmed the company's vision for the programme. He stated, "This scholarship is not merely a financial award; it is a vote of confidence in your potential. It is an affirmation that excellence is recognised and rewarded. We encourage you to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to continuous learning. The world you are preparing to enter is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Beyond academic success, cultivate integrity, leadership, innovation, resilience, and a strong sense of responsibility toward society."
Scholarship Programme Details
The Sage Grey Finance Undergraduate Scholarship Programme is an annual initiative designed to recognise and reward academic excellence among high-performing students in Nigerian public tertiary institutions. Targeting full-time second-year undergraduate students studying designated courses in Engineering and Management Sciences, this edition provides a financial grant of N100,000 to each selected beneficiary. The scholarship is renewable annually for the duration of the recipients' academic journey. Eligibility requires a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.0, and applicants already benefiting from other scholarship schemes are excluded from consideration.

The five outstanding students selected for the 2026 Sage Grey Finance Undergraduate Scholarship Award are: Komolafe Olajide Abul Ramon, Shittu Mumeen Olabisi, Ejimofor Chigozirim Serena, Lampejo Eniola Sarah, and Bassey Abraham Bassey. These individuals represent the highest-performing undergraduates across the Faculties of Engineering and Management Sciences at the University of Lagos.
Collaboration with UNILAG
Mr. Olutunda further noted the vital role of UNILAG's Guidance and Counselling Unit in the programme's continued success. He said, "We sincerely appreciate the management of the University of Lagos and, in particular, the Guidance and Counselling Unit for the collaborative relationship we have continued to maintain. This partnership demonstrates what can be achieved when institutions work together with a shared vision for youth empowerment and educational advancement."
Future Expansion Plans
The firm has also indicated plans to continue expanding the programme in subsequent academic sessions, with a view to reaching more deserving students across Nigeria's public tertiary institutions.
