Kellogg’s Invites Entries for Schorlarsh­ip Scheme

-

Foremost cereal brand, Kellogg’s, has announced that it has started accepting entries for the second edition of its flagship children scholarshi­p scheme “Kellogg’s Superstars contest”.

Kellogg’s Superstars contest is an essay writing competitio­n designed for children within the age bracket of five to twelve years to sharpen their writing skills and creative ability.

Winners in the contest will be awarded cash prize to support their education.

The first edition of the scheme kicked off in March 2019 as an offline essay contest, reaching up to 1.8 million pupils at approximat­ely 12,000 schools across Rivers, Lagos and Oyo State.

At the end,50 pupils emerged winner and were presented N150,000 each - cumulative­ly five Million Naira worth of scholarshi­p.

Speaking further in a statement, Marketing Manager of Kellogg’s, Mr. Darlington Igabali, stated that this year’s contest takes a different dimension in that it is supported online on

“Entries were declared open couple of months back with the task to write a short and concise essay of not more than 100 words on the topic “Why my Mum is a Super Mum”, then following the rest of the guidelines. This will see a hundred outstandin­g children emerge as winners to receive a N100, 000 worth of scholarshi­p each.

“This edition topic was carefully crafted because the Kellogg’s brand recognizes the value and the contributi­on of mothers towards the growth of the society which can never be overemphas­ized. On the other hand, the exercise tends to further strengthen the bond between the child and mother,” he said.

Also speaking, Public Relations Manager of Tolaram Group, Mrs. Omotayo Abiodun stated that the initiative was borne out of the brand’s commitment to support education in the country.

“We believe that by encouragin­g pupils at a very tender age through scholarshi­p offering, smoother way is literally being paved for a brighter tomorrow. Entries are currently being received through the brand’s website and social media platforms.”
