  1. Please sir how can I apply

  2. Orji Mmesoma Gloria

    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.

  3. Please how do I apply for the scholarship for my daughter, she is still taking her NECO and WAEC Exam

  4. OKAFOR CHUKWUBUIKEM EMMANUEL

    Wow, am really happy for these, what a great opportunity

  5. 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

  6. 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).

  7. Thanks for the information,I applied for the one they provided earlier,can I still apply for this one again?

  8. Ogbonna obiageri Nancy

    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.

  9. Oghenetega David

    I will be writing WAEC/ NECO and JAMB next year 2022..Can I apply?

      • 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

    • 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?

  10. Chukwuemeka Paschal Chinemerem

    After the application what next?

  11. What a great opportunity

  12. IWUAMANAM INNOCENT ONYEBUCHI
