Oxford-Grace Lake Scholarship Overview

The scholarship is financed by Grace Lake Partners in collaboration with the Rewley Fund.

Ladi Delano, a Saïd Business School alumnus twice over (MSc in Major Programme Management, 2018; Postgraduate Diploma in Global Business, 2016), co-founded Grace Lake Partners (GLP) in 2014. GLP is an investment and advisory firm dedicated to establishing and managing businesses that cater to societal needs in Nigeria, generating economic value for the company and its shareholders.

Driven by concern for the educational challenges faced by numerous young Nigerians, Ladi initiated the GLP Cares Foundation. This Foundation has offered multiple full scholarships to deserving scholars for enrollment in reputable private and public Universities in Nigeria.

Having graduated from Oxford Saïd, Ladi founded the Oxford-Grace Lake Scholarship via the GLP Cares Foundation in collaboration with the Rewley Fund. This scholarship is geared towards supporting exceptional candidates from Nigeria.
