REDEEMER’S UNIVERSITY
SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME POLICY
FOREWORD
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) a Pentecostal Ministry established in the year
1952 by an illiterate clergyman Pa. Josiah Akindayomi with a divine mandate to preach the gospel
across the globe to all humanity, obtained operational license to own and run a faith-based
University in 2005.
For more than two decades, the RCCG has been providing Scholarship for wards of her members
at primary and post primary school levels, in over 200 locations in Nigeria and some African
Countries where there is poor access to education at these levels.
In her bid to do more in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility in education, the RCCG and the
Redeemer’s University leadership initiated the RCCG-RUN Scholarship in September 2018 to
give more opportunities for those seeking tertiary education with poor financial base.
I acknowledge and appreciate the commitment of the Governing Council and Management of the
University in putting the policy together.
