Application Process:
Eligible candidates are expected to:

Lafarge’s bursary scheme has, over the years, become a major boost for Sagamu students, with many past beneficiaries acknowledging its impact on their academic journey. Community leaders have also lauded the initiative as part of Lafarge’s wider Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts that continue to uplift Sagamu residents through education, empowerment, and social investments.
