The Vision of SAQEX
The Vision of SAQEX
SAQEX (School Fees Award Qualifying Exams) is a unique initiative of LIMA Education Award Foundation designed to eliminate the burden of school fees. It gives students the opportunity to sit for an exam that, upon qualification, covers their tuition fees directly.
Unlike a traditional scholarship, SAQEX is an innovative solution dedicated solely to addressing school fee challenges. While students in our Charity Arm benefit from the LIMA Scholarship, SAQEX is open to all tuition-paying students who wish to secure financial relief through merit-based examinations.
With SAQEX, no student has to abandon their education because of financial hardship.
SAQEX MISSION:
Our mission is to ensure that anyone who desires an education — regardless of financial limitations — can pursue it without interruption. Through the SAQEX program, those who have dropped out can return to school, while students already enrolled can have their fees sustained and secured.
Education should never stop because of lack of funds — and SAQEX makes that possible.
LIMA HOLIDAY PROGRAMS
SAQEX runs several award packages designed to ease the burden of school fees and keep students focused on learning:
1. Termly School Fees Award
Covers tuition fees for one academic term. Students in primary or secondary schools who sit for the SAQEX exams and meet the required cut-off mark will have their school fees paid directly to their school by LIMA.
2. Full Session Award
Provides full tuition coverage for the entire academic session — 1st, 2nd, and 3rd terms.
3. LIMA Entrance
A comprehensive program that sponsors a student’s tuition from start to finish throughout their years in school.
International Students Award: Supports students already enrolled in schools within Nigeria who need financial assistance to complete their studies.
Overseas Education Award: Assists aspiring students in Nigeria who have secured admission abroad but are unable to proceed due to financial constraints.
Switch Over Education Award: Enables students to transfer to a preferred school (primary, secondary, or tertiary), including private institutions.
Complete Years in School Award: Pays for the full number of years a student has left to complete their education.
Get Back to School Award: Designed for students who dropped out of school due to lack of funds, giving them the opportunity to return and continue their studies.
