Bright’s $2.1M Scholarship Story

We’re over the moon. The kind of excitement that fills your heart with pride, because one of our own is making headlines in a big way!

Our incredible client (and former intern!) Bright Uwakwe is the cover star of EduTimes Africa this month. Bright was the first recipient of the Edward Adefemi Oyewo Scholarship, which covered his SAT prep, application fees, visa costs, and full application support, and what a journey it’s been!

In this exclusive feature, Bright shares how he went from a young boy in Nigeria watching planes and dreaming of flying, to navigating the complexities of international admissions. Today, he holds over 12 university offers in the US and has secured $2.1 million in scholarships, all made possible with the guidance of the Edward Consulting team and the support of our founder, “Aunty Bimpe,” as he fondly calls her.

This isn’t just a success story; it’s proof of what happens when vision meets strategy and consistent support.
