Super Falcons captain and PSG star Rasheedat Ajibade has stepped up her commitment to youth development with the launch of the “Back 2 School Scholarship”, a new educational support initiative designed to keep financially disadvantaged Nigerian students in school and on the path to success.
The scholarship, unveiled through the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation, targets both secondary school and university students who demonstrate strong academic promise but face financial barriers to completing their education.

Successful applicants will receive either full or partial tuition support, easing the burden on struggling families at a time when rising costs are forcing many young Nigerians out of school.
But Ajibade is pushing the initiative beyond financial aid. The programme is built to nurture future leaders, offering mentorship opportunities that include direct guidance from the Super Falcons captain herself.
Beneficiaries will gain access to capacity-building sessions centered on education, leadership, mindset development, and positive life values.
The “Back 2 School Scholarship” is the latest in Ajibade’s growing track record of social impact projects focused on youth empowerment, education, and community upliftment — reinforcing her brand as not just a football icon, but a force for social change.
With Nigerian students increasingly at risk of dropping out due to economic hardship, the initiative lands as a timely intervention. It strengthens the pipeline of educational support for promising youths and underscores Ajibade’s message that talent should never be lost due to lack of opportunity.
For many young Nigerians, this scholarship is more than financial aid — it’s a lifeline, a confidence boost, and an invitation to dream bigger.
Ajibade isn’t just investing in football excellence — she’s investing in a generation.
