Daily Trust Foundation Awards Scholarships to 70 Female Medical, Nursing Students

The Daily Trust Foundation has awarded scholarships to 70 female students pursuing studies in medicine, dentistry, and nursing, providing vital financial support to future healthcare professionals.

This initiative reflects the Foundation’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and its dedication to improving lives through education and healthcare.

The scholarship recipients are drawn from the University of Maiduguri, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, and the University of Ilorin, representing various levels of academic progression in their respective programmes.

The awards are part of the Daily Trust Foundation’s broader scholarship scheme aimed at advancing girl-child education and increasing female participation in the health professions, in line with the Foundation’s stated objectives.

The intervention builds on a sustained investment in women’s education.

Over 300 female medical and nursing students have benefited from the scheme over the years, with former scholars going on to work in hospitals in Nigeria and abroad.

That record places the scholarships within a longer effort to help students turn academic ambition into professional opportunity.

Beyond the financial awards, the scholarships represent an investment in access to medical and nursing education.
