Who is DJ Cuppy, and why is she donating?
DJ Cuppy is a Nigerian artist, philanthropist, and businesswoman who has built a name for herself in the global music arena. She is also the daughter of wealthy businessman Femi Otedola, who has donated to numerous projects in Nigeria and around Africa. DJ Cuppy stated that she made this donation to Oxford University in order to give back to the continent that inspired her and to assist more African students in achieving their academic goals.
How would the donation benefit African students at Oxford?
The money will be used to establish the DJ Cuppy Scholarship Fund, which will cover four African students’ tuition and living expenses for the following four years. Students from underrepresented backgrounds who have shown academic distinction and leadership potential will be targeted by the scholarship fund. The scholarship fund will also provide beneficiaries with mentoring and networking opportunities.
