Wantoe Teah Wantoe Announces 52 Scholarships for Certificate Programs at Visionary School of Leadership and Development
Monrovia, Liberia: In one of the most inspiring moments of the graduation ceremony, the keynote speaker, Wantoe Teah Wantoe, President of the Postgraduate Association at the University of Oxford, announced the award of 52 scholarships for certificate programs at the Visionary School of Leadership and Development. The announcement came as a major highlight of the event and was received with excitement and applause from graduates, faculty members, and guests in attendance. The scholarships will provide emerging professionals and aspiring leaders with the opportunity to enroll in various professional certificate programs offered by the institution, further expanding access to leadership education and career development for young people across Liberia.
While the institution is widely known for its leadership training, the scholarships will support participation across several areas of professional development offered by the school. These include programs in leadership and governance, project management, professional communication and public speaking, entrepreneurship, and personal development, all designed to equip participants with practical skills that strengthen both professional performance and leadership capacity.
Speaking during his address, Wantoe emphasized the importance of investing in young professionals who are committed to integrity, service, and national progress. He noted that empowering young people with the right mindset, knowledge, and leadership training is essential for building stronger institutions and a more responsible generation of leaders. He encouraged the graduates and aspiring participants to view leadership as a responsibility rather than simply a position of authority. According to him, nations progress when their young professionals are prepared to think critically, act ethically, and contribute meaningfully to society.
The 52 scholarships represent a strong gesture of support for the mission of the Visionary School of Leadership and Development, which continues to expand its impact by equipping young Africans with practical professional skills and ethical leadership values needed to transform their communities and institutions.
Leadership of the institution described the scholarship announcement as a significant step toward widening opportunities for talented young professionals who desire to grow in their careers but may lack access to advanced professional training. The initiative is expected to attract a new cohort of passionate learners eager to strengthen their knowledge, develop new competencies, and contribute to national development.
Over the years, the Visionary School of Leadership and Development has built a strong reputation for empowering young professionals through innovative training programs that combine leadership education with practical application. Participants are encouraged not only to study leadership and professional skills, but also to apply them within their workplaces, businesses, and communities. With this commitment and the announcement of the new scholarships, the Visionary School of Leadership and Development continues to reinforce its role as a leading platform for nurturing Africa’s next generation of visionary, ethical, and professionally equipped leaders.
