150+ Students Benefit from Maritime Education Scholarships

Education is the most powerful tool for transformation, and at Strickland Services, we believe in investing in the minds that will shape Nigeria's maritime future. Since launching our Educational Scholarship Program in 2018, we have supported over 150 students across Rivers, Lagos, and Delta States, with a focus on maritime and technical education that aligns with industry needs.

Building the Maritime Workforce of Tomorrow

Nigeria's maritime sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, yet the skills gap remains a significant challenge. Our scholarship program directly addresses this by supporting students pursuing degrees and certifications in maritime engineering, marine technology, naval architecture, petroleum engineering, and related technical fields.

Comprehensive Support Beyond Tuition

Our scholarship program goes beyond just covering tuition fees. We provide a comprehensive support system that includes:

Success Stories That Inspire

The true measure of our program's success lies in the achievements of our beneficiaries. From first-generation university graduates to young professionals now leading major maritime projects, our scholars are making significant contributions to Nigeria's maritime industry.

"The Strickland scholarship didn't just pay for my education; it opened doors I never knew existed. Today, I'm a Marine Engineer working on offshore projects, and I'm committed to mentoring other young people from my community."

Focus on Gender Equality and Inclusion

Recognizing the need for greater gender diversity in maritime professions, 40% of our scholarships are specifically allocated to female students. We also prioritize candidates from underrepresented communities and those facing economic hardships.

Application Process and Selection Criteria

Our scholarship application process is designed to be accessible and transparent, focusing on academic potential, financial need, and commitment to the maritime sector. We announce opportunities annually, typically in January, with selections made by a committee of education and industry professionals.

Expanding Horizons: Future Plans

As we look toward the next phase of our scholarship program, we're expanding to include emerging technologies such as maritime digitalization, renewable energy systems, and environmental engineering. We're also developing partnerships with international universities to offer exchange programs for our top performers.

"Education is not just about individual advancement; it's about building the human capital that will drive Nigeria's maritime sector into the future. Every student we support today is an investment in our nation's tomorrow."

Join Our Alumni Network

Our scholarship program has created a powerful network of maritime professionals across Nigeria and beyond. Alumni regularly participate in mentoring new beneficiaries, sharing job opportunities, and contributing to the program's continuous improvement.

As we celebrate seven years of educational empowerment, we remain committed to expanding access to quality education and building the maritime workforce that Nigeria needs to compete globally. The future of our maritime industry lies in the hands of the young minds we support today.
