Brilliant Students' Scholarship

Children of farmers heading to university

We pay university fees for the full course of study for the children of farming families. Every applicant is screened in person against the criteria — there are no discretionary places.

You'll need

  • 200 or above in JAMB
  • At least five credits in WAEC or NECO
  • Parents who farm

Farmers' Fund

Rolling intake

Smallholder farmers in our communities

Direct support for smallholder farmers — inputs, tools, or help recovering from a poor season — so one bad year doesn't undo years of work.

  • Farming in Oyo State
  • Known to, or part of, the Psaltry out-grower network
  • A specific, costed need

Community & Agripreneur Grants

Rolling intake

Schools, health posts, cooperatives and young agripreneurs

One-off grants for a defined community project, or for a young agripreneur with a clear, workable plan.

  • Based in a farming community we work in
  • A written plan and budget
  • A named person accountable for the funds

Interventions

Case by case

Scholars and farming families facing a specific barrier

Targeted help when a single obstacle stands between someone and their education or livelihood — like the powered wheelchair we provided for Robiat to resume with.

  • An existing scholar or a farming family in our communities
  • An urgent, specific and costed need

Mentorship for Future Farmers

Next cohort forming

Young people who want to farm

A cohort programme in modern practice, sustainability, and running a farm as a business rather than a subsistence. Farming in Nigeria is ageing; this is our answer to that.

  • Aged 18–35
  • Living in or near our communities in Oyo State
  • Serious about farming as a career
