Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation, in Partnership with VSOLAD, Offers 30 Full-Tuition Scholarships
Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation Scholarship Initiative | Certificate-level Executive Professional Program, Cohort 41
The Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation, in partnership with the Visionary School of Leadership and Development (VSOLAD), is pleased to announce 30 full-tuition scholarships for the Certificate-level Executive Professional Program, Cohort 41.
The partnership has been formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions. Its purpose is to widen access to leadership and professional development for deserving individuals who are committed to growth and service but have limited means to pay tuition. Each scholarship covers the full program tuition, and the 30 awards carry a combined value of USD 3,000. The initiative reflects a shared conviction that building leadership capacity is essential to national development. Through the program, scholars will strengthen their leadership skills, professional competence, and critical thinking. They will also build the capacity to create meaningful impact in their organizations and communities.
Statement from the Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation
“Talent is everywhere in Liberia, but opportunity is not. This scholarship initiative is about closing that gap. When we invest in the leadership capacity of ordinary Liberians, we invest in stronger communities, stronger institutions, and a stronger nation. I encourage every deserving young person and professional to apply and to take this opportunity seriously.”
— Martin K. N. Kollie, Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation
Statement from the Founder and President of VSOLAD
“Leadership is not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. It is a responsibility that every capable person should be equipped to carry. Across Liberia, there are young people and professionals with the vision and character to lead who have never had access to structured leadership training. We are honored to partner with the Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation to ensure that such potential is not lost because of circumstance.”
— Otis Togbah Tarwoe, Founder and President, VSOLAD
