The DFW Branch of the GreatIfe Alumni Association is happy to provide annual scholarships to the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria students.
The Great Ife Alumni Scholarship is first and foremost about giving back to an institution that equipped DFW members to not just withstand the later challenges of life but to thrive in spite of those challenges.
The plight of disadvantaged students being a major area of concern to the majority of the DFW members, a decision was made to institute need-based annual Scholarship Awards for outstanding indigent students of their Alma Mater.
