The Strom Foundation through its flagship academic initiative, the Strom Scholars Award honoured students to drive Nigeria’s infrastructure and economic growth.
The event held at the second edition of the Strom Scholars Award which was hosted at the Plateau State University at its 8th & 9th Combined Convocation, reaffirming its commitment driving youth development across real sectors of the economy, a statement by the organisation has said
“Through the Strom Scholars Award, ten outstanding graduating students were each awarded N500,000, totalling N5 million in financial support. But beyond the monetary award, the initiative offers mentorship to help scholars navigate the often-challenging transition from academic excellence to economic participation,” the statement
Speaking at the ceremony on behalf of the Foundation, Ibimina Young Arney described the gesture as more than recognition; it is an investment in possibilities.
“At Strom, we are builders but not only of infrastructure but of systems, opportunities, futures, and possibilities. We believe that true development must improve lives. The Strom Scholars Award is a direct expression of that belief.”
She noted that the award recognises not only academic performance, but discipline, resilience, and the promise of leadership to contribute to Nigeria’s infrastructure growth.
In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor commended Strom for reinforcing the value of excellence within the university community noting that the scholarship sends a strong message to students on the reward for hardwork, saying that “It strengthens the culture of merit and aspiration that we continue to build here.”
