Rotimi Kukoyi, Founder and Editor
Rotimi Kukoyi is the founder and editor of MeritScholarships.org, a public directory created to help students find and compare merit-based scholarships. He was selected as a 2026 Rhodes Scholar and named a 2025 Truman Scholar from Alabama. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he studied Health Policy and Management, worked on health-policy and community-health projects, and served as senior class president. He created this site from his experience navigating scholarships and college access, with the aim of making deadlines, eligibility rules, award amounts, and official application links easier to verify. Scholarship information changes, so readers should confirm current rules and dates with the sponsoring organization before applying.
