1% Challenge

In September 2019, I asked myself a simple question: Can I spend 1% of my income to help the next generation? It was a no-brainer for me.

So I decided to focus this small amount on helping pay for the standard exams that students need to write – but often cannot afford – to get into graduate school.

That was how the Michael Taiwo Scholarships Inc. was born.

Our early donors took the same challenge.

They donated 1% of their income to give hope to bright but indigent scholars who dream of studying at the world’s best universities.

Can you pledge 1% of your income? You can make this monthly or annually.

That small slice can cover a full exam for a future professor, engineer, or policymaker.

I’ve long since given more than 1 % because the need and the joy are great. Will you join me?
