Saïd Business School

Overview

The scholarship is funded by Grace Lake Partners in partnership with the Rewley Fund.

Ladi Delano is a two-time Saïd Business School alumnus (MSc in Major Programme Management, 2018; Postgraduate Diploma in Global Business, 2016). In 2014, Ladi co-founded Grace Lake Partners (GLP), an investment and advisory firm that builds and operates businesses that address societal needs in Nigeria while creating economic value for the company and its shareholders.

The plight of many young Nigerians who cannot further their education weighs heavy on Ladi’s heart. This conviction led to the creation of the GLP Cares Foundation. The Foundation has provided numerous full scholarships to scholars to attend reputable private and public Universities in Nigeria.

Ladi graduated from Oxford Saïd, and through the GLP Cares Foundation, established the Oxford-Grace Lake Scholarship. Powered in partnership with the Rewley Fund, the scholarship supports extraordinary candidates from Nigeria.
