Every year, the MTN Foundation sponsors 30 young Nigerian musicians to study music at the prestigious MUSON School of Music, and in the past 13 years, 330 students have been awarded this scholarship. Oluwatosin continues, “It would have been tough to keep up with the tuition fees, books, and other benefits the MTNF gave me.”
