The CKF SHE Soars Program makes postsecondary education possible for girls from lower-income families.
Launched in 2019, the program provides need-based financial sponsorship to female graduates of Nigerian public secondary schools and matches the girls with successful career and business women for mentorship.
Today, there are 26 SOARS Scholars in 14 universities across the country studying Medicine and Surgery, Mechatronics Engineering, Physiotherapy, Aeronautics, Astronautic Engineering, Agricultural Extension, Psychology, Law, and Accounting.
It is true that once you become a SHE Girl, you become a part of the CKF family. CKF has been a family to me in every way.

When I graduated from secondary school and gained admission into the University of Lagos to study Law, CKF offered me a scholarship under their scholarship program, the SHE Soars Scholarship.
It feels good not to be carrying the financial burden of higher education and I am so grateful to the Foundation for their investment in me.
I am motivated to excel academically and succeed in my career.”
