Adeleke also revealed that students of the school of the handicapped were also eligible to partake in the scholarship.
She also revealed that the scholarship was aimed at cushioning the effect of economic hardship as well as to reduce the financial burden on parents in this trying period.
She also called on stakeholders in the state to endeavour to assist the underprivileged in order to reduce suffering in the society.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Our convergence here today is another step forward in our youth path to progress in their academic pursuit to gain admission into higher institution of learning of their choice.
“This programme was put today by the Office of Osun State First Lady in conjunction with my pet project ‘Imole Osun Development and Rekindled Hope Foundation’
“Imole Osun Development and Rekindled Hope Foundation is committed to Girl Child Education, holistic development of Women and Youth to complement Government efforts in bringing dividends of democracy to the masses.
“To our dear youth in the State, the leaders of tomorrow, I want to advise you to be weary of the company you keep, remain focused and always remember the child of whom you are.”
Adeleke advised the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the opportunity in order to justify the good intention of the organisers.
A total of 2500 indigents students in the state benefitted from the free distribution of the UTME forms.
