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.

Please sir how can I apply
Just scan the required documents and mail them to the foundation’s email address.
What about those that recently wrote WAEC but their result are not yet out.
The result that is even likely to be out soon is NECO result. But that may still not happen before the scholarship application deadline.
Sir I am interested but I will still write my waec which will commence on Tuesday 🙏🏼
My suggestion is that you write the self introduction letter and attach your WAEC registration slip to indicate awaiting result since the scholarship will be awarded next year.
Please how do I apply for the scholarship for my daughter, she is still taking her NECO and WAEC Exam
I think you can write introduction letter for her and indicate that she’s currently writing her SSCE.
Please what if you are to write WAEC in 2022 how would you register
You watch this space to know if and when there is an offer in 2022. Then you can apply.
Wow, am really happy for these, what a great opportunity
Sir i want to ask if these scholarship is for 2021 or is it for 2022 because the summition daye doesn’t fit because even
these set have not written waec
I think they planned it without considering the effect of the lockdown on the education system.
Please is the scholarship for those who have sat for ssce/neco or those who will sit for the aforementioned exams in 22/23? The question is considered necessary because those who have sat for ssce/neco cannot be considered as 22/23 set as stipulated in the scholarship advertisement.
What the scholarship foundation is using to measure ‘set’ here is JAMB and not necessarily SSCE. The scholarship opportunity is for those who plan to sit for 2022 UTME and gain admission into medicine and surgery the same year. So whether they wrote SSCE last year, this year or next year, it doesn’t really make much difference to the foundation (though the timing doesn’t favor those currently aspiring to obtain their SSCE and they need to consider that).
Thanks for the information,I applied for the one they provided earlier,can I still apply for this one again?
Yes, you can apply since you haven’t been given any.
Please How can I know if I have been selected, because I have not heard or seen any post about the scholarship they provided earlier before this second one.
Normally, those who are pre-selected would be contacted and given further information about what to expect next.
I wasn’t contacted, is it that I have not been selected or they have not yet started contacting the selected ones
You can contact the executive secretary to know your status. +2348060399485
Thank you sir
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity
You are welcome
Please I think you should extend the deadline since some the aspirants are writing WAEC and NECO exams and may not be able to see their results before then due to the delay in the school calendar as a result of 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.
Please i want to apply I’m still currently writing my ssce exams how do I apply for it
Your SSCE result is one of the documents required for application. If you don’t have it yet, your application may not be successful.
I will be writing WAEC/ NECO and JAMB next year 2022..Can I apply?
Yes
Sir what will be the recipient address that will be on the self introductory letter? And as a graduate of medical laboratory technician that has the dream of studying medicine and surgery,can I still apply??
You can apply if you are willing to get admission in the 2022/2023 academic session.
Address the self introduction letter to the Executive Secretary, Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation.
Please what if u don’t have neco result like you didn’t write neco but only waec and you are expecting ur result for waec thus year can such person apply
No, you can’t apply without one of WAEC and NECO.
Please sir is the self Introductory letter to be hand written and snapped to the mail or it should be typed directly to the mail?
Please type and scan. Don’t snap.
After the application what next?
After the application, successful/selected candidates would be shortlisted and or contacted.
Please sir, how do I apply
If you are eligible to apply, submit a photocopy of your WAEC or NECO and a self introduction letter to orjiuzorkalufoundation@hotmail.com
That’s how to apply.
What a great opportunity
Good one indeed. But sir, will the letter be a hand written or typing and scan?
It’s not indicated in the scholarship information. I believe they will prefer the letter typed because it would be easier for them to process.
A nice opportunity for us
