“This funding will mean the world to me. I lost my father to cancer last year. He was my only financial sponsor, and since his passing, my siblings and I have struggled to cover the costs of my education. As I approach the final phase of my studies, the financial burden has grown heavier, but so has my determination.
Despite these challenges, I am on track to graduate with a first-class degree. This funding would ease the financial strain and allow me to focus entirely on finishing strong. More than anything, I want to give back to the healthcare system, especially by caring for cancer patients like those who once cared for my father.
Thank you for considering my story and helping me take this next step toward a future of service and impact.”

Chinenye Merenu
“I am in urgent need of support to pursue my passion for autogele and costume making. Although I’ve been learning through YouTube, I deeply desire professional training to improve my skills. I’ve already started receiving orders, but I believe formal training would help me deliver better-quality results and build a sustainable business.
I currently teach children in my community whose parents are unable to pay their school fees. Unfortunately, my education was cut short due to financial hardship. That’s part of why I chose to volunteer in my community, hoping that teaching would keep me connected while I work toward restarting my own journey. I was previously a student at the Institute of Ecumenical Education in Enugu.
Your support would change everything for me. It would allow me to complete formal training, produce professionally styled autogele, and become financially stable. With that stability, I could resume my education and continue striving toward my goals. I am eager to grow, to learn, and to build a living through my craft.
Thank you again for considering my request. May God bless you abundantly for your kindness.”

Samuel Sunday
“I’m 12 years old, and I really want to go to school. I should have started secondary school by now, but I haven’t been registered because we don’t have the money.
Back in primary school, I was often sent home because we couldn’t pay the fees. Sometimes I had to repeat classes, and it made me fall behind. I want things to be different now. I want to go to school and stay in school without being sent away.
My big sister, Chisom, has been doing her best to support me. She also takes care of my other siblings, and it hasn’t been easy for her. Even though we have parents, most of the burden has been on her. I see how hard she works, and I’ve started doing small jobs to help in any way I can.
We thought about a government school, but the closest one is across a very busy and dangerous road, and my sister is worried about me crossing it every day. She’s trying to get me into a private school that’s closer to home and safer.
Getting this scholarship would mean so much to me. It would help my sister and give me a chance to learn in peace. I want to grow up, finish school, and make her proud.
Thank you for considering me. I am truly grateful.”

“I lost my father when I was just 13. After his death, life changed completely. My uncles took everything he left behind, leaving my mother, a petty trader in the village, with nothing to raise us. Things became very hard for me and my siblings.
To survive and continue my education, I started working as a nanny. That job allowed me to complete secondary school. After graduation, I moved to Owerri in search of better opportunities. I lived at a motor park for six days, sleeping among street boys , until a kind girl took me in after I shared my story with her.
From there, I got a job at a cyber café. I worked there for six years, saving up little by little for higher education while also supporting my younger siblings. Eventually, I saved enough to buy a JAMB form and gained admission to Imo State University.
But that was the start of another tough chapter. To support myself, I began a small snacks business on campus. I sell peanuts during school hours and in my department. In the evenings, I sell in my hostel. On weekends, I fry and sell akara. I also write assignments for students who don’t have time. During holidays, I hawk buns in the market just to raise enough to support my younger siblings and care for my sick mother in the village.
I’ve been doing all of this to keep my dream alive. I remember my father once told me he would sell his last cloth just to make sure I go to school and graduate. That promise has stayed with me.
During my second year at university, things got so hard that I nearly dropped out. The weight of school fees, daily expenses, and my family’s needs became too much. I started losing focus. My GPA dropped from 4.5 to 3.9, and my blood pressure began to rise. I was overwhelmed, in pain, and felt like giving up. I cried and begged God to send help.
That’s when I saw the link to this scholarship. I knew this was the help I had been praying for.
This scholarship will do more than support my education. It will give me peace of mind. It will help me focus, breathe easier, and restore my health. Thank you so much for considering me. I am deeply grateful.”

Chibueze Okeh
“I’m 16 years old and .I currently live with my dad in Owerri. I’m the first of six children.
My dad works as a bike rider and has been doing everything he can to care for us since we lost our mother, but things have been very hard. Feeding us alone is already a struggle, so paying school fees has been nearly impossible. I had to stop going to school about three years ago.
Because of this, I’m still in JSS1 at 16 years old, the same class I was in before I dropped out. I should be in SS2 by now. It hurts to see others my age moving forward while I remain behind.
To keep me busy, my father sent me to learn welding, and I’ve been learning well. But deep down, I want to return to school. I want to build a better future and not be denied an education because of money.
This scholarship would bring back hope for me. I promise to take my academics seriously and make everyone proud. Thank you for this opportunity. I am truly grateful for your help.”

Destiny Kadurumba
“I’m 14 years old. I am currently a JSS2 student at Federal Government Girls’ College, Owerri.
I love education. Reading, learning, and doing well in school bring me so much joy. I’ve always dreamed of using my knowledge to help others and serve my community. But things have not been easy for me and my family.
Some time ago, I had an accident that affected one of my legs. Since then, my family has spent a lot of money on my treatment, and it has taken a serious toll on our finances. Because of this, continuing my education has become a major challenge.
This scholarship would make it possible for me to stay in school and continue chasing my dreams. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and thank you for your support.”

“Ever since I lost my mum, who had been the breadwinner of our family, my academic journey has become very unstable. It was a real struggle for me to even join my classmates in writing the recently concluded WAEC and NECO examinations.
I am currently pursuing a degree and believe that this scholarship will help me overcome the financial barriers I am facing. It would allow me to focus on my studies and work toward achieving my goals without the constant worry of school fees and other expenses.

“Things have not been going well for a while. My mum has been seriously sick and was even admitted to the hospital for several days. At the same time, my dad has also been unwell. It has really been weighing me down.
I’ve had to work extra hard to take care of both of them and my siblings. It hasn’t been easy, and the pressure has made it even more difficult for me to keep up with my responsibilities. Now, I am struggling to pay my school fees, and I truly need support to continue my education.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my story.”

Temple Oluchukwu
“I am 13 years old and currently in JSS3.
I need funding because my family is going through serious financial challenges, and I don’t want to stop going to school. I currently live with my sister, who just gave birth last month and is still recovering. She brought me from the village to the town so I could attend school because she wants the best for me.
My father used to support her with the little he had, but he is now hospitalized due to diabetes and a cut on his leg. Because of this, he can no longer help with my school fees. Things have been very difficult. Feeding has become a struggle, and paying for school is almost impossible.
I have been at home since the start of this third term and was unable to take my junior WAEC exams with my classmates because we couldn’t afford the fees. I am a brilliant student and I love learning. This scholarship will give me the opportunity to continue my education and work towards my dreams, while also easing the burden on my family.
Thank you so much for considering my request. I am truly grateful.”

Ambassador Uta
“I am 15 years old and I am currently in JSS3.
I live with my grandparents, who are very old and not strong enough to work. My mum is a single mother, and life has not been easy for us. She tries her best, but there have been many times when I missed school because we couldn’t afford to pay my fees or buy the materials I need. Sometimes, I stay at home while other children go to school, and it hurts me deeply.
That is why I am pleading for this scholarship. My grandparents cannot afford to support my education. I know they wish they could help, but they are tired and weak. This support would give me a real chance to continue my education without the fear of being sent home again.
It would mean so much to me and my family. Thank you for giving children like me hope. I am truly grateful.”

“I run a fresh juice brand that produces 100% natural fruit juices and smoothies, passionately crafted to nourish, heal, and energize. My mission is not just to sell juice but to serve wellness in every bottle.
To scale my impact and serve my customers better, I am seeking support to attend a juicing masterclass and earn a certification in nutrition. The total cost of the program is ₦200,000, and I have saved ₦100,000 so far. This training will equip me with deeper knowledge in juice therapy, nutrition science, and innovative juicing techniques. It will elevate the quality of my products and strengthen my credibility as a professional.
The ₦100,000 support I am requesting will go directly toward registering and completing this masterclass. With this upgrade, I will be able to improve my recipes, create customized juice plans for specific health needs, and build stronger trust with clients who are looking for more than just a tasty drink. They want healing in a bottle.
This opportunity represents more than personal growth. It is a chance to expand my business through knowledge. By supporting me, you are helping a purpose-driven entrepreneur build a more informed and impactful juice brand rooted in wellness.
Thank you for considering my request.”

Godspower Oguzie
“I am a final-year student of Computer Science at the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede.
From the very beginning, I have had to find creative ways to fund my education. Before gaining admission, I learned event decoration, a skill that has become my lifeline. Through it, I’ve been able to support myself and stay afloat academically.
But recently, life took an unexpected turn. My father became seriously ill, and every kobo I had saved in PiggyVest went into his medical care. Since then, things have become more difficult. I have not been able to complete my clearance for ND, and my HND 1 and HND 2 school fees are still unpaid. Even so, I am now in my HND2 finals, holding on with faith and determination.
This grant is more than financial support. It is the fuel for a dream I have worked so hard to keep alive. With ₦120,000, I can add to what I already have, pay off my school debts, clear my academic records, and finally complete my journey.
I am not asking for a handout. I am reaching out for a lifeline. Your support will not only help me graduate, it will help shape my future.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I am truly grateful.”
