What we fund
Four ways we keep excellence alive
Scholarships
For undergraduates with the grades and the grit, but not the means. We cover tuition, fees, and learning materials so talented students can finish what they started.
Explore Scholarships
Research Grants
Seed funding for early career researchers. From fieldwork and lab consumables to data and equipment, we fund the unglamorous costs that make real research possible.

Academia Support
Graduate application support — test fees, application fees, and credential evaluation — plus mentorship that connects our scholars to the wider academic world.

Award for Excellence in Research
Our flagship annual award, in collaboration with ISPOR (HEOR) UNN, recognising and rewarding outstanding research by the next generation of Nigerian scholars.
About the AwardOur Mission
To expand access to quality education and strengthen research in Nigeria by funding outstanding students and researchers at every stage of the academic journey.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where how far a scholar goes is determined by talent and hard work — never by financial circumstance.
Our Values
Merit. Access. Integrity. Community. Impact.
Our story
We fund the moments that decide a career
The Gabriel Ezenri Foundation was founded by Gabriel Ezenri to solve a problem he knows firsthand: Nigeria is full of brilliant students and promising researchers, and far too many of them are stopped not by ability, but by money.
We fund those moments. Because when you fund a scholar, you don't just change one life — you change everything that scholar goes on to discover, teach, and build.
