2015

The Genesis: Kids Can Dance

In September 2015, our Man of God initiated the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International Scholarships Initiative with 67 members of the LMAM Performing Arts, the then Kids Can Dance Crew. They were young, from different societal backgrounds, with some out of school and from families not financially enabled to cater for their educational needs. Filled with the love of God and compassion for His people, the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International Scholarships started, providing free education along with all materials necessary for quality education.

Kings Produced: Global Service

Today, we have 40 of the original 67 members who have now graduated from the university as "Kings Can", contributing meaningfully to the Ministry and society at large. The program has not only empowered students to achieve academic success but also instilled discipline, excellence, and social responsibility.

The COFI Scholarships Program has been successfully executed across 3 key arms:

Scholarship Activity 1 Scholarship Activity 2

The COFI Performing Arts Scholarship Scheme (COFI PASS)

In September 2015, our Man of God initiated the COFI Scholarship Initiative, beginning with 67 young members of the Loveworld Music & Arts Ministry (LMAM), then known as the Kids Can Dance Crew. Drawn from diverse and often underprivileged backgrounds—many out of school and unable to afford education— their lives were met with God’s love in action. Through the COFI Scholarship, they received free, quality education and all necessary learning materials, restoring hope, dignity, and a future filled with purpose.

Today, we have 40 of the then Kids Can Dance, now Kings Can who have graduated from the university and now contribute meaningfully to the Ministry and the society at large!

Still in the scheme are 125 university undergraduates, 94 secondary school students and 82 nursery and primary school pupils.

COFI Scholarship at Loveworld Schools (COFI SALS)

The COFI Scholarship at Loveworld Schools (COFI SALS) Program was uniquely designed for children of the Loveworld Staff Community, Directors and Zonal Pastors who have served for a period and whose children attend Loveworld Schools.

COFI SALS currently have 39 students/pupils in the scholarship scheme, and 5 have graduated from scheme after completing their secondary school education.

As an agent of change in the reform of the educational system in Nigeria, COFI in collaboration with Loveworld Schools designed an educational system that creates destination with the aim of producing exemplary leadership potentials within the pupils of Loveworld Schools.

Through outstanding performances in the Cambridge Checkpoint Exams and WASSCE, several other COFI Awardees at Loveworld School showcased the superior level of education offered, demonstrating the exceptionalism model adopted by Loveworld Schools.

Cassey Eguakhide, one of COFI Scholarship Awardees in Loveworld Schools in October 2026 emerged the winner and the Public Speaker of the Year Competition organized by Raise Initiative.

COFI Non-Institutionalized Scholarship Scheme

With its Non-Institutionalized aspect, COFI Scholarships extended support to international beneficiaries, awarding COFI Scholarships to an awardee at Drexel University and another at the American Film Institute, underscoring the program’s global reach and relevance.

Our distribution model transcends boundaries, ensuring every beneficiary gets full career preparedness through strategic mentorship and high-quality education.
