I am a Lagos TAPian NYSC beneficiary under the Category 2.2.  At the end of the programme I became a member of two globally reputable institutions in the United Kingdom, The Institute of Leadership and Management (TILM) and a full member - Association of Business Executives (MABE) and  joining a global community of members, This is a special and unique arrangement for UNESCO REF TAP beneficiaries, as usually membership is reserved for candidates studying towards some regulated qualification.

I am one of the women with disabilities selected in Osun State by the Osun State Government to benefit from the UNESCO REF VOICE Professional Initiative, commissioned under the Educational Financial Facility Scheme. I am Deaf, and my life’s work has been to prove that every learner can learn, and that difference is not deficiency. Through environmental health, psychology, public health education and a doctorate in special education, I have carried that conviction into classrooms that too often overlooked the very children I was trained to serve, children who, like me, experience the world differently. I am still on this journey, and the VOICE Initiative is honouring that conviction at every stage. It is rigorous, dignified and impeccably administered, and it measures me by my capability, never by my condition. Each module equips me further to open doors for the next learner who has been told that the door is closed.

NYSC beneficiary from Lagos state currently in the final phase of my MBA program in Zurich Elite Business School in Switzerland. one of the top 25 business schools in Europe. The TAP credentials helped me to get a scholarship that covered 95% of the tuition fees, instead of paying $52,500 I paid $2,500, and was given the opportunity to pay over five installments— no black Friday deal can ever be as crazy as this. The bespoke programme has given me certifications from leading companies such as Google, BCG, PWC, Goldman Sachs, IBM and Facebook, as well as top business schools like INSEAD, Yale, Imperial, Columbia, Duke, and the University of Virginia Darden School of Business.

I had carried this aspiration for years: to advance my professional standing through an internationally accredited qualification in Public Health Management. The barrier was never academic. It was entirely financial. What the Educational Financial Facility Scheme provided was not charity, nor an improvised arrangement. It was a structured, transparent, and professionally administered pathway that treated my ambition with the seriousness it deserved. That is what I did not know was possible, until it was.

I am a computer science graduate and a self-sponsored UNESCO REF TAP beneficiary under the category 2.1 - E1 from the Federal Capital Territory Abuja. TAP has built my capacity, transformed and impacted me in various sectors of life, as side been a computer graduate, I now understand how to activate the commercial aspect of my profession and also to run and manage a profitable sustainable business.

The National Library holds knowledge. For years, I held an aspiration that my professional circumstances could not translate into formal academic pursuit. The path to a doctoral qualification in Information Technology existed, but the financial infrastructure to walk it did not. The Educational Financial Facility Scheme closed that gap with a structured, credible, and professionally administered mechanism that gave that pursuit a legitimate runway. I did not expect the process to be this precise. That precision is what distinguished it.

I am a beneficiary of the TAP Project under the category 2.7 of the programme in the United Kingdom, making me a Diaspora TAPian (DP). The UNESCO REF TAP transportable and external validation credentials have complimented my curriculum vitae and gave a lead for more decent jobs.

As a 400-level student of Public Health at Baze University, I have come to understand that the health of a nation is built long before anyone reaches a hospital: in clean water, in informed families and in communities that understand prevention. I wanted to prepare for that work before graduation, not after it. The President’s Scholarship under EFFS made that possible, granting full coverage for a professional programme that stands beside my degree and sharpens it. To be entrusted with this award while still a student is an honour I hold with gratitude and with resolve. I intend to repay it in the communities I will one day serve.

I am from Sierra Leone I am a beneficiary of the TAP Project under the category 2.8. I appreciate the diversity of topics that are brought to classes each week. It makes learning much more fun and interesting and has helped me improve my leadership skills, be bold and make more friends around the world and build my capacity to know that I won’t be limited by gender.  Building program to be more prepared to enter the global work force in the growing new economy of the African continent.

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Test and Measurement at the University of Jos, a deliberate commitment to educational precision. The President's Scholarship under EFFS provided full coverage for a professional programme that complements that academic journey. I am grateful and fully committed to justifying what this scholarship represents.
