Hello there, I'm Da Mze, the founder, owner, and principal author at Scholaraid.com.ng, a growing hub dedicated to providing Nigerian students with clear, practical, and up-to-date guidance on scholarships, admissions, and all academic opportunities. With years of experience navigating Nigeria’s educational landscape, I've cultivated a reputation for insightful, reliable, and richly detailed content that cuts through complexity—making daunting academic processes accessible for learners at every level. I was inspired to create Scholaraid out of first-hand observations of how students lose out because of misinformation, missed deadlines, or unclear guidance. The mission is to ensure that talent, not just connections or luck, determines access to educational opportunities in Nigeria (and beyond). Looking ahead, my aims to expand the platform’s reach—geographically and in terms of offerings—so that more students from rural, low-income, or non-elite backgrounds can benefit.
