Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation has announced additional scholarship for 2024 academic year to 650 students who have interest and passion for medicine and surgery to study in 12 selected Nigeria universities.
The Foundation which has strong interest in education and health, in collaboration with Venezuela Embassy in Abuja had earlier announced scholarship for 50 undergraduate students to study medicine in Latinoamerican Medicine School, Venezuela.
Unlike the Venezuela scholarship program which the foundation takes care of all funds including tuition fees, accommodation, feeding and monthly stipends, the foundation’s national scholarship covers tuition fees, accommodation and stipends only for the entire seven years of study.
The scholarship fund will be deposited in a designated bank.

Very good and am interested in this tremendous opportunities from you.

Thanks for the Information
Thanks for your good information
You are welcome.
Firstly, I commend your effort on this awesome utile scholarship.
More so, on the issue of having good grades in o-level for a greater advantage consideration , I suggest that that should not be a side yardstick sir .
For the fact that there are many candidates that do engage in exam malpractice in SSCE .Though , some candidates have A’s in their o-level result.
This is one of the reasons UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN does not consider good grade in o-level anymore. A prospective candidate should just has his or her o-level result at least credits with meaningful scores in JAMB and POSTJAMB .
I appeal to this charity team to use JAMB has a prior advantage for candidates has Prof Is’haq Oloyede , JAMB rector paves no way for malpractice in UTME unlike in O-LEVEL examination which many schools turn into miracle centres during the conduction of their examinations.
THANK YOU SIR.
Is this also for those yet to take JAMB?.
Yes, it is. Those planning to write JAMB 2022 can apply.
Okay
Thanks for this wonderful information
I’m an OND holder, am I qualified for this schoolaship?
Do they accept direct entry?
Regardless of the mode of admission you are planning, please apply for the scholarship if you intend to get admission into Medicine and Surgery in 2022.
I thought the application and submission of these documents start on the 20th
You are right.
Do I snap the waec results and send or how do I do it
SCAN your documents and sent to the foundation via the email address given in the scholarship advert.
Okay
Thanks for this wonderful information
You are welcome.
Please sir,what are the requirements and when will the registration start and the dead line?
The requirements are your WAEC or NECO result and a self introduction letter.
Application starts 20th of August and ends 20th of September, 2021.
Thank you very much for such an opportunity
Good morning sir, please, It has been my dream to study medicine and surgery but due to lack of finance I couldn’t I ended up studying education biology hoping to study medicine and surgery when am financially bouyant..so I want to know if I can be allowed apply.
Now your dream is about to come to reality.
You can apply for the scholarship and hope for the best.
All that are needed are passion and willingness to study medicine and surgery starting 2022, SSCE result and a self introduction letter.
I’m grateful for this special opportunity
Will gain this Amen
sir I wrote my WAEC and NECO since on 2006 and as am seen this opportunity I decide to write my exam again can I apply this year while taking exam next year is it possible for me to apply
If you are writing WAEC and NECO now, you cannot apply for this current scholarship opportunity. When you get the results, you can watch this space for the next opportunity.
But why not use the result you already have now and apply?
Sir pls wot if I write jamb and didn’t meet d cut off mark…will I be qualified for d scholarship
If you don’t meet the cut-off mark for medicine and surgery in your prospective university, of what use then is the scholarship?
You won’t be awarded the scholarship if you fail to get admission into medicine and surgery in 2022.
So without admission letter from d sch ….dat av been admitted ..I can’t use d scholarship even if I meet d cut off mark for d course..but wot if I didn’t meet d next year cut off mark..will I be admitted into d sch since it a scholarship.
No, the Foundation shall not influence the school’s admission process. The candidate shall take responsibility for gaining admission. If the candidate fails in this respect, they forfeit the scholarship.
Sir I what to ask if student of sss3 can benefit from this scholarship after their waec.
Yes, but probably not this current scholarship opportunity.
After their WAEC, they can apply for next year’s offer.
I sat for jamb this year 2021 but admission is not yet out can I still apply for the scholarship
Apply if you have your SSCE result.
You may be lucky, the admission and scholarship may just work out.
But the deadline for the submission of the documents is from August till September but we still writing our NECO and WAEC.
Yes for people like me
Thanks for the Information
Please I think you should extend the deadline since some aspirants are writing WAEC and NECO exams this year and may not be able to see their results before then due to the delay in the school calendar which was caused by the covid pandemic
I just spoke with the executive secretary and she explained that the scholarship opportunity would be a yearly program. So there will be another opportunity next year for those who don’t already have their SSCE result.
So this is strictly for those who already have their SSCE result.
How do one begin the process of application?
Or is it just the uploading of the documents first?
Yes, upload the required documents. That’s all there is to the application.
How I submit the requirements
Just mail them to the foundation’s address orjiuzorkalufoundation@hotmail.com
Am grateful for this opportunity

The Executive Secretary,
Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation.

No, they are not. WAEC or NECO result is a requirement for application.
Hello Sir

You can use your two sittings to apply. What really matters are the grades you have there.
A-grades in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are an advantage.

Apply if you have your SSCE result.
You may be lucky, the admission and scholarship may just work out.
