The Root Initiative is AfriSEED Foundation’s flagship program, created to bridge the critical gap between secondary education and university entry.
The program supports academically promising students who have the potential to thrive in higher education but lack the financial resources to take the qualifying examinations required for admission into Nigerian universities.
Rather than simply paying examination fees, The Root Initiative provides a structured support system that accompanies students from the end of secondary school into university. Through financial assistance, mentorship, scholarship guidance, and ongoing encouragement, we help students build a strong foundation for long-term academic success.
