What We Offer

Our Programmes

Education Support From Exam to Graduation

The Jolaade Adeola Foundation runs four targeted programmes designed to remove the financial barriers that stop Nigerian students from sitting exams, entering university, and staying in school. All programmes are free. All are open to eligible applicants regardless of state or denomination.

JAMB
Programme 01

JAMB Sponsorship

We cover the full UTME registration fee for eligible students who cannot afford to register for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examination.

JAMB is the gateway to university education in Nigeria. Without it, no student can gain admission to any federal or state university. Yet for thousands of families, the registration fee is simply out of reach. JOAF steps in to pay that fee directly, so the door to higher education stays open.

What We Cover
  • Full UTME registration fee
  • Direct payment to JAMB portal
  • One application per academic year
Who Can Apply
  • SS3 students or recent graduates
  • Financially disadvantaged households
  • Nigerian citizens
  • No prior university admission
WAEC
Programme 02

WAEC and NECO Examination Fees

We sponsor O-Level examination fees for students who risk missing their WAEC or NECO results solely because their families cannot pay.

The West African Senior School Certificate (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) results are required for university admission, polytechnic entry, employment, and almost every professional pathway in Nigeria. No student should lose their future because of an unpaid exam fee.

What We Cover
  • Full WAEC registration fee
  • Full NECO registration fee
  • One examination body per cycle
Who Can Apply
  • Current SS3 students
  • Students from low-income households
  • School enrolment must be confirmed
  • Nigerian citizens

Programme 03

School Fee Support

We provide partial or full scholarships to cover tuition and school fees for students at secondary and tertiary institutions who cannot afford to continue their education.

Many students gain admission but cannot pay fees. They defer, drop out, or lose their places entirely. JOAF works with families and institutions to provide targeted support that keeps students enrolled and progressing toward their qualifications.

What We Cover
  • Secondary school tuition fees
  • University and polytechnic fees
  • Paid directly to the institution
  • Renewable per academic session
Who Can Apply
  • Currently enrolled students
  • Proven financial hardship
  • Satisfactory academic standing
  • Nigerian citizens
Textbooks and learning materials
Programme 04

Educational Materials and Learning Resources

We supply textbooks, stationery, past question papers, and learning materials to students and public schools that lack the resources to equip their pupils.

A student cannot study without books. A school cannot teach without materials. JOAF distributes educational resources to underserved students and public schools across Nigeria, ensuring that poverty of equipment does not translate into poverty of knowledge.

What We Provide
  • Core subject textbooks
  • JAMB and WAEC past questions
  • Stationery and writing materials
  • School supply kits for students
Who Can Apply
  • Individual students in need
  • Public primary and secondary schools
  • School head teacher endorsement required
  • Nigerian schools and students
