The Alex Otti Foundation (AOF) is inviting qualified students to apply for its Tertiary Education Scholarship for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The scholarship is meant for students who have strong academic results, leadership qualities, and a clear desire to use their education to make society better. The foundation believes that education should not only benefit the individual but also help improve the lives of others.
