Support
School-side costs, paid directly.
Hope Catalyst pays for the costs that keep students in school and only those. The fees are sent to the institution’s official account, never to a family or a student. That rule is the entire shape of the program.

How it works
From application to the school’s account.
Who we can support
Students currently enrolled in a Nigerian public school (Primary, Junior, or Senior Secondary), or those pursuing tertiary admission. The cost in question must be invoiced or documented by the institution. We ask for an admission letter, fee invoice, and recent academic results, the paperwork your school already produces, nothing manufactured for us.
Direct to the institution
Approved payments are sent to the school’s official account. There is no in-between, and no funds pass through families or students. If account details appear on the invoice you upload, we still verify them with the school before disbursing. The point is for the money to land where it has to land.
Timing and amounts
Once an application is submitted with complete documents, review takes a few business days. Approved payments usually reach the school within a week. There is no fixed cap, but applications are reviewed case-by-case, and smaller, time-sensitive needs (exam registration, an outstanding term balance) move fastest.
Returning each term
Each new term or examination cycle is a separate application. Returning applicants generally move through the process faster because we already have your records. Every supported student is also automatically enrolled into the access network. There is no separate form to fill.
