Education Support /Grants Initiative

The Henry Seriake Dickson Foundation (HSDF) Educational Support Grant is one of the several initiatives of the foundation and has been a lifelong dream and practice of the President and founder, His Excellency Senator Henry Seriake Dickson.
As a young man growing up in Toru-Orua community, he observed with pain and equally experienced the difficulties and challenges the terrain imposed on the people coupled with the inadequate attention paid by authorities to the development of the region in terms of access to quality and affordable education, adequate healthcare facilities and affordable healthcare services
for women, children and even men, lack of social amenities like electricity, drinking water even though water is abundant, industries and road networks as observed in other parts of the country.
His Excellency Senator Henry Seriake Dickson believes strongly and has mentioned countless number of times in various events, ‘’INVESTMENT IN CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING
AND COMPELLING OF OUR TIME’’ and devoted his entire life to the public service making these investments.
The HSDF Educational support has a series of programs for students at various educational levels from the post-primary school to the post-graduate levels.
These programs are designed to promote the spirit of excellence that the foundation represents as well as support and encourage the beneficiaries who are Bayelsans across the Federation, to do more in their pursuit.
