An Ondo City based philanthropic Social Club, Satellite 15 has kicked off the celebration of the 2022 edition of its participatory efforts in the annual Ekimogun Day fiesta with scholarship grants to about 50 secondary school students spread across Ondo East and Ondo West federal constituency.
According to president of the club, Satellite Anthony Olabanji, the scholarship scheme is meant to beam searchlight to brilliant but indigent students in the communities with a view to supporting their educational career.
The scholarship scheme commenced nearly a decade ago with over 1,000 beneficiaries.
Selected students from major schools in Ondo East and Ondo West converged at St. Ambrose Grammar School for an aptitude test after which a mini reception was held for satellite club members, the students, parents, teachers and other invited guests in the spirit of the Ekimogun Day fiesta coming up in December.
Akinkoye who chaired the Scholarship planning committee informed journalists at the event that the second leg of the event will hold at St.Monica Secondary School on the eve of Ekimogun Day when funds will be distributed to recipients of the scholarship.
Members of the Satellite 15 Club Ondo collectively affirmed that the scholarship scheme is a uniting force to salvage the indigent students.
