In an inspiring move to mark International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025, Nigerian rapper, actor, and social activist, Falz, has unveiled an empowering initiative designed to support the education and development of women across the country. The multi-talented artist has announced the launch of 20 scholarships, aimed at providing educational opportunities for women who may otherwise face financial barriers in accessing higher learning.
Falz, known for his vocal stance on social issues, has long been an advocate for women’s rights and gender equality. Through his new scholarship program, he is actively contributing to the empowerment of women and their access to education, a critical step towards achieving long-term independence and societal impact.
The scholarships are designed to assist women pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at recognized institutions in Nigeria. They will cover tuition fees, accommodation, and a stipend for study materials, ensuring that the recipients are able to fully focus on their academic success without financial constraints weighing them down. The program is aimed at women from diverse backgrounds, particularly those from underserved communities, who have shown academic promise and leadership potential.
I am excited to launch this scholarship program in celebration of International Women’s Day, Falz shared in a statement. This initiative is a step towards leveling the playing field, creating opportunities for women to thrive, and fostering a future where gender equality is not just a dream but a reality. Education is a powerful tool for change, and I am proud to contribute to it.
The scholarships will be awarded based on a combination of merit and need, with applicants required to submit a compelling personal statement, academic records, and references. Falz’s team, along with a panel of experts, will carefully review each application to ensure that the recipients truly embody the values of hard work, dedication, and the desire to make a difference in their communities.
This scholarship initiative is just one part of a broader effort by Falz to champion the rights and welfare of women in Nigeria and beyond. Over the years, the artist has used his platform to speak out on issues such as domestic violence, gender inequality, and the need for greater representation of women in leadership positions. He continues to use his influence to push for tangible change in society, and this scholarship is another meaningful step in that direction.
By offering these scholarships, Falz hopes to inspire other individuals, organizations, and institutions to invest in the education of women, helping to create a ripple effect of empowerment across the nation. In doing so, he believes that society will move closer to achieving true equality and justice for all women.
For those interested in applying for the scholarship, further details and application instructions will be available on Falz’s official social media pages and website in the coming weeks.
