2023 STEM AND SPASS Examination

STEM is a scholarship program for Public Secondary SS2 Science Students. The examination is conducted yearly in four different zones; ILE IFE, IKIRUN, ILESHA and IWO simultaneously. Questions for examination are drawn from the secondary school curriculum. This Scholarship program (STEM) has been going on for the past five (5) years. The winners are given scholarship that covers for all external examination fees i.e. WASSCE, NECO and JAMB, the first runner up is entitled to WASSCE and NECO while the second runner up is entitled to WASSCE only.

In 2023, one hundred and seventeen (117) schools participated and nine winners emerged. The foundation also selected the next best five students’ i.e. 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th positions for WASSCE scholarship to mark her fifth year anniversary. It was observed that none of the winners came from the south west zone of the State, therefor the best student from the zone was also selected for a cash prize award.

Scholarship Program for Arts and Social Science (SPASS)

SPASS as earlier stated is a scholarship Program for Arts and Social Science students. The Scholarship started a few years after STEM in a bid to include Art and Social Science Students in the scholarship programs of the foundation. While STEM examination is conducted physically, SPASS is done virtually. The online examination is to test the critical thinking and writing skills of these students. A total number of one hundred and twenty (120) schools participated in this year’s SPASS program. Thorough scrutiny was done by our team of scholars to select the best three students who were later invited for an oral interview, to determine their critical thinking reasoning, analytical processes and communication skills which will, in turn, be the final determinant of positions i.e. first, second, and third.

The SPASS winners were also given scholarship to cover all external examination in the same order as the STEM.

This year SPASS winners are listed below:

1. Odusola Emmanuel from Osogbo Grammar School, Osogbo

2. Adebayo Fawaz from Ede High School, Ede and

3. Micheal Comfort Oluwadarasimi from Iwoye-Ijesha Grammar School, Iwoye-Ijesa.

The STEM program has the additional advantage of an undergraduate program package at Ashesi University, an American based curriculum university in Ghana. This is due to our affiliation with the University. We do hope to partner with more universities across the globe.
