Orji Uzor Kalu Foundation has supported youth education by offering additional scholarships to 650 students to study Medicine in selected Nigeria Universities.
The additional scholarships are for the 2022 academic year.
They are to be awarded to 650 students who have an interest and passion in medicine and surgery.
Their study has been scheduled to take place in 12 selected Nigeria universities.
The Foundation, which has a strong interest in education and health, in collaboration with Venezuela Embassy in Abuja had earlier announced scholarships for 50 undergraduate students to study medicine in Latinoamerican Medicine School, Venezuela.

The scholarship fund will be deposited in a designated bank.
