Lagos, Nigeria – Leading asset management firm Zedcrest Wealth has announced the launch of the Zedcrest Wealth Academy Scholarship, a new initiative designed to equip ambitious Nigerians with both in-demand career skills and the financial knowledge needed to build lasting wealth.
The scholarship initiative, delivered through strategic partnerships with ProductDive and AltSchool Africa, reflects Zedcrest Wealth’s belief that career advancement and financial literacy should go hand in hand. As more Nigerians invest in acquiring digital and technology skills to unlock better career opportunities, many still lack the financial knowledge needed to effectively manage, invest, and grow the income those opportunities create.
The Zedcrest Wealth Academy Scholarship addresses both challenges simultaneously. Rather than offering access to education alone, the initiative combines career-focused learning with practical financial literacy through the Zedcrest Wealth Academy, a gamified learning hub built into the Zedcrest Wealth app that makes learning finance practical, fun, engaging and accessible.
Speaking on the initiative, Renah Osiemi, Managing Director, Asset Management, said: “Education creates opportunities, but financial literacy helps people to maximize them. We created the Zedcrest Wealth Academy Scholarship because we believe success is beyond increasing your income to knowing how to manage, invest and grow it. Our goal is to help people build successful careers while giving them the financial knowledge to convert income into long-term wealth. “
