The Builder
For those who buildFor kindred who have built institutions, businesses, or communities that visibly serve the majority and refuse the made-up string.
The Keeper
For those who hold the lineFor scholars, babalawos, traditional rulers, and quiet keepers of the canon. Recognition of stewardship over the truth.
The Carrier
For those who bring it backFor kindred in the diaspora whose work has carried the Code — in art, in language, in religion, in scholarship — back across the ocean.
Human capital is a spiritual duty.
If your Ori is meant for greatness, the House should provide the scholarship, the mentorship, and the network to help you reach it. The Ori Scholarship pipeline is the structural arm of that promise.
Cradle Pipeline
Tuition support for primary, secondary, and university students in Yorubaland and the wider West African region. Up to 200 scholars annually.
Diaspora Pipeline
Tuition and stipend support for kindred students across the Americas, Europe, and beyond. Up to 80 scholars annually.
Mentorship Network
Every scholar is paired with a Corps member in their field. Mentorship is mandatory for the duration of the scholarship.
Babalawo Stipend
Direct support for the training and livelihood of recognised babalawos — the keepers of the verses, often working without income.
Returning Scholars
Travel and research stipends for diaspora scholars returning to Yorubaland for fieldwork, language immersion, or community service.
