The Decagon Undergraduate Honors Program identifies exceptional young Nigerians and invests four years in developing them — degree, career training, mentorship, and community — into the professionals this country needs.
Every Decagon scholar receives more than tuition. The programme runs for all four years of their degree — structured career training, a professional community, mentorship, and access to real work.
