The Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has graciously approved the payment of the 2023 scholarship to Children of Deceased Civil Servants and students living with disabilities in the State.
The scholarship scheme for Children of Deceased Civil Servants is designed to cater for the bereaved children of Delta State Civil Servants who died while in active service.
Similarly, the scholarship scheme for physically challenged students is part of Delta State Government’s effort to assist physically challenged persons, who, despite their disabilities, have taken up the challenge to acquire relevant education that will make them less vulnerable in society.
According to a statement by the Executive Secretary of Delta State Scholarship Board, Dr. Godfrey Enita, the two scholarship schemes would run through primary, secondary and tertiary schools.
The statement added that 628 children of deceased civil servants drawn from over 200 families and 60 students living with disabilities would benefit from the 2023 scholarship. ‘’As a catalyst for socio-economic development, education is a critical component of Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda geared towards empowering dreams and building great futures.
‘’Therefore, these approvals the governor underscores his passion and commitment towards the education of students of Delta State origin, regardless of their socioeconomic background.’’
