The Mary Ojulari Foundation has officially announced the commencement of applications for the second cohort of its flagship programme, the Vanguard Fellowship.
Programme Details
- Foundation: Mary Ojulari Foundation.
- Fellowship Name: Vanguard Fellowship (Cohort 2).
- Objective: The entrepreneurship initiative is designed to identify, equip, and elevate visionary innovators by providing capacity building, business mentorship, and catalytic funding.
- Target Audience: Aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs across Nigeria who are developing innovative, sustainable solutions to real community and economic challenges.
- Key Benefit: Following a successful inaugural cohort where 25 entrepreneurs received $125,000 in business growth funding, the second cohort is set to offer participants a chance to pitch their business ideas to investors for potential seed funding and mentorship after completing a two-week ‘Ignite Bootcamp’.
The Foundation’s founder, Mrs Ojulari, emphasised that the fellowship aims to bridge the gap between innovation and opportunity by supporting founders who are intentional, disciplined, and ready to build solutions that create a ripple effect of positive impact within their communities.
