FNF FOUNDATION 2023-2024 SCHOLARSHIP & AWARD programs
SCHOLARSHIP & Award oVERVIEW
We have created the FNF Foundation scholarship and award program to honor the endearing legacy and grace of our parents and fore-parents, especially those named after the various scholarships and awards. We hope that by assisting recipients of our scholarships, many of whom are Nyei, Fofana, and relatives, we will have modestly contributed toward perpetuating the teaching and selfless devotion of our parents and grandparents to God, communities, and country.
The funds we receive primarily come from Fofana Nyei-owned businesses and individuals. The donation size affects the monetary value of the scholarship and award program and the number of recipients. We are proud that the FNF Foundation scholarship program has awarded over $50,000 in scholarships to needy charities and individuals in three years.
We receive many applications each term, and the FNFSAP chooses winners through a highly competitive selection process. This competitive environment encourages applicants to submit their best work to increase their chances of receiving a scholarship, grant, or award. We encourage all those qualified to apply.
All Scholarships and Awards applications must be submitted through The FNF Foundation application portal. The application window closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (The New York Times) on September 30 each year.
Application inquiries or an interested and qualified person may send an application to awards@fnffoundation.org.
FNF Foundation will announce or send information about FNF Foundation Scholarship, Awards, and Grants between October and November.
