Grooming Endowment Trust in collaboration with the Association for Formidable Education, have awarded a grant of N200,000 each to 12 teachers in underserved communities across Nigeria.

This is contained in a statement by the organisation on Friday.

According to the statement, “Over 500 applications across the six geo-political zones, applied for the grant which closed in March. After a thorough review process by an internal panel of judges, 60 teachers were selected.

“The 60 shortlisted teachers then proceeded to the second stage of interviews which featured a detailed application form and social media videos detailing why they should be selected for the funding.

“In April 2024, 12 teachers were announced as winners of the inaugural edition of GETAP. Speaking at the virtual award ceremony, the Operations Manager for GET applauded the teachers for their grit and determination in the face of challenges,” it read.

Operations Manager, Grooming Endowment Trust, Michael Adoghe, said the judges had a hard time shortlisting the 60 teachers and the final 12 winners because of the high quality of applications.

He said, “We are also honoured to be able to provide support to 12 teachers and are hopeful that this helps alleviate their struggles and enables them to perform more effectively”.

National President, AFED, Orji Kanu, added, “For AFED, our goal has always been to make sure that underserved communities get access to valuable resources. When the opportunity came to work with GET, we were excited that it aligned with our mission and goal.”

Some of the winning teachers are; Adetomiwa Awofeso is a graduate of the University of Ilorin. She teaches at Whanyinna Children Foundation School, Makoko Lagos state. Cornelia Udoh studied Business Administration and currently teaches at Faithword Embassy Academy, Rivers State.

Abigail Ekot is a graduate of education biology from the University of Calabar. She teaches ICT at Moslem Primary School, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
