Tai Solarin University of Education Alumni Association has presented scholarships to six best 200-level students picked from the six colleges of the university.
The alumni equally warned the newly matriculated students of the university to prioritise excellent academic pursuit and shun all forms of distraction and negative tendencies, including cultism, examination malpractices, and drug abuse, among other vices that could make a shipwreck of the glorious future ahead of them.
The National President of TASUED Alumni, Bolaji Oladeji, disclosed this in a statement sent to journalists on Thursday.
Oladeji said that the alumni actually initiated the scholarships, which cover the tuition fee of the beneficiaries to reward hard work and instil a reading culture and pursuit of academic excellence into the life of the undergraduates.
The Alumni President presented the scholarships to the undergraduates during the matriculation of the newly admitted students held on Wednesday.
However, the president urged the freshmen students to shun vices like cultism, examination malpractices, and drug abuse and instead make excellent academic pursuits their watchword.
The statement partly read, “The Alumni Association of Tai Solarin University of Education has awarded scholarships to six undergraduate students across the university’s six colleges.
“The scholarship, which covers full tuition for each of the best 200-level students in each college, was presented by the National President of the association, Mr Oladeji Bolaji Julius, at the matriculation ceremony of the university held on January 8, 2025, at the University Auditorium.
“While presenting the award, the president noted that the scholarship scheme is an established legacy and initiative of the alumni, to stimulate reading culture and serve as a reward model for academic excellence among undergraduate students.
“The President used the occasion to congratulate the newly matriculated students.
“He advised the newly admitted students to shun cultism, substance abuse, examination malpractices, and other illicit behaviours that are capable of bringing their family names and that of the university into disrepute.”
