Scholarship overview

The Springtime Development Foundation (SDF) is a humanitarian, non-profit, non-governmental organisation. Its scholarship scheme, shown on a page hosted on the Adeleke University website, provides financial assistance and counselling to scholarship candidates throughout their studies at a Nigerian institution.
