Oluyemisi Fawole
Nigeria 2015
Fawole Oluyemisi is the second in her family to win a prestigious AWARD Fellowship, as her youngest sister was an AWARD Fellow in 2014. As the second born in a family of five children raised in southwestern Nigeria, she values the guidance her parents provided. All of her siblings have completed university, and two of them have doctorates.
I believe AWARD will develop my proposalwriting skills that will help me get funding to carry out quality research.
Field of Research
I loved biology and knew I wanted to work in this area. I applied to university of Ilorin to study biology, first focusing on plants and zoology, and then moving into microbiology.

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
