The Danladi Yunana Foundation scholarship offers support to passionate Nigerian students offering STEM related courses with financial barriers. The scholarship is part of the Danladi Yunana foundation’s dedication in uplifting young people from underserved communities who face systemic barriers to educational opportunities. Scholars will not only receive a full scholarship but also a range of academic support.
Danladi Yunana Foundation
The Danladi Yunana Foundation (DYF) is a registered charity with it’s headquarters in Jalingo, Nigeria, Taraba State. DYF draws inspiration from the remarkable journey of its founder, Dr. Danladi Yunana – who grew up in a low-income neighbourhood in Maiduguri, born to parents with no formal education. Against the odds, he went on to earn three academic degrees across three continents: Africa, Europe, and Australia. His story is a testament to the power of resilience, education, and hope.
To date, the foundation has impacted over 90 students across multiple universities in Nigeria through its scholarship and mentorship initiatives. The foundation aims to build a world where every individual is empowered to lead fulfilled and meaningful lives through reputable access to quality education by fostering educational and professional growth opportunities within underprivileged and underrepresented communities to drive systemic change.
