HISTORY
Inspired by Rev. Tony Akinyemi’s life and values, the Rev. Tony Akinyemi Scholarship Foundation (rTSF) began as a voluntary initiative launched by his friends in 2010 as a birthday tribute.
Rev. Tony’s early life was marked by financial hardship. Growing up in Nigeria, he was exceptionally bright and eager to learn but faced significant barriers due to limited resources. Yet, through brilliance, determination, and divine grace, he rose above those challenges to achieve remarkable success across many fields. What makes his story even more compelling is that he never forgot where he came from. His heart has always remained with those walking the difficult path he once knew so well.
The foundation exists to carry forward his life’s passion: giving every deserving young person a chance to dream, achieve, and transform their future through education.
rTSF officially became a chartered organization in 2011.

“It is equally a colossal loss to our country and the world at large when great potentials arenot developed and deployed but are allowed to waste. I imagine how many investors and world-class professionals and leaders have been allowed to rot in abject poverty due to lackof human capital development in our country. This trend must not be allowed to continue.
This is one of the cardinal reasons rTSF has risen up to the occasion. We wish to team up with like-minded people to do something about this wastage of human capital on our landscape. Please join hands with us. To date, hundreds of pupils and students have benefited from our scheme and a good number of them are already university graduates,
some of them graduating with FIRST CLASS HONOURS”
