National Lottery of Guinea selects 15 Master\u2019s students for full scholarships through a public draw, turning lottery proceeds into life-changing educational opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Guinea.- The National Lottery of Guinea<\/strong> (LONAGUI) has awarded 15 students <\/strong>full scholarships<\/strong> for their Master\u2019s studies<\/strong> through a public draw<\/strong>, turning lottery proceeds into tangible opportunities for education and national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The draw took place on October 24, bringing together LONAGUI\u2019s Director General, members of the Board of Directors<\/strong>, staff, institutional partners and applicants from across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A total of 392 applications <\/strong>were received for the third edition of the Scholarship, highlighting the program\u2019s growing national reach<\/strong>. After pre-screening and interviews, LONAGUI held a separate “public lottery draw” to select the 15 winners<\/strong>, who will receive full tuition<\/strong>, a living allowance and ongoing support for their Master\u2019s studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mohamed Baba Sylla<\/strong>, Director General of LONAGUI, said: \u201cThrough this initiative, LONAGUI reaffirms its mission: to be a high-performing, responsible public company fully committed to human development and national progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sylla added: \u201cWe firmly believe that merit<\/strong> and perseverance <\/strong>must be rewarded, and that education remains our most secure asset. This is how we will build a stronger Guinea, capable of meeting the challenges of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since its launch in 2023, the LONAGUI Scholarship has become a cornerstone of the company\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility<\/strong> (CSR) strategy, transforming lottery proceeds into meaningful benefits<\/strong> for the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On behalf of the Board, Barry Diawara said: \u201cSince its launch, the LONAGUI Scholarship has established itself as one of the flagship programs<\/strong> of our company’s social responsibility<\/strong> policy. It reflects our firm commitment to supporting Guinean youth in their educational journey by giving them the means to express their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She added: \u201cIn just two editions, this program has already changed the destiny<\/strong> of many students. Through this initiative, LONAGUI demonstrates that the fortunes of bettors<\/strong> become a real benefit for the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n By conducting a public lottery draw, LONAGUI ensures the scholarship selection is transparent<\/strong> and fair<\/strong>. The initiative illustrates how chance and merit can intersect, turning the luck of lottery players into opportunities for education <\/strong>and national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 15 winners, representing diverse regions across Guinea, will begin their Master\u2019s programs at partner institutions<\/strong>, carrying with them the promise of education powered by public lottery luck<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
