  Early results from our last webinar have started coming in. The data does not lie! The Greatest impediment to access to scholarships is unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge about the availability of these scholarships. Many undergraduate students do not know about the existence of myriads of opportunities to access funding to support their studies. This knowledge however, is not self-inflicted; it is a product of deficiency of resource persons/structured platforms to guide them. When you correlate their familiarity with their source of information; the pattern stands out. A very unstructured way of getting information relying heavily on WhatsApp and friends. The university contributes to less than 15%. Therefore, young students lack who to run to, lean on or guide them over scholarship applications. This is an area that Elechi Scholarships strives to fill in the gap. Students deserves to be fully informed about the possible Scholarships available to them as early as poss...

On Wednesday, the 22nd of July, 2026 , Elechi scholarships held its first webinar focused on “Navigating Scholarship Opportunities as a Nigerian Undergraduate Student” .  The first Keynote speaker, Barr. Obinna Edeh emphasized the need for a diligent pursuit of scholarship opportunities as an undergraduate student. His maxim remains that:  “Undergraduate Students should pursue scholarships the way they did for JAMB and Post-UTME” Pharm Alum Ogechi , speaking later on, used her personal experiences to highlight key steps to winning a scholarship. Starting from aptness in sourcing information, to timely applications and consistency, she explained the rigors along the journey to becoming a scholar. A key takeaway is the fact that information is the greatest gap to accessing scholarship by Nigerian students; many do not know about the opportunities available to them and how to navigate them. This knowledge gap is an important area we seek to provide valuable solutions to. We are...

  This is a follow-up to our Article on “ Why many did not scale the document verification-review stage ”. If it is not original, then it is fake In this country, Nigeria, we must not become so accustomed to cutting corners and falsifying documents just to avoid following due process. What many people fail to realize is that scholarship award ing bodies anticipate such actions and pay close attention to detecting fraudulent applications. Once any form of forgery is discovered in your documents, you are automatically disqualified, regardless of your qualifications or good motivation. Simply follow the instructions provided. If you are asked to obtain a recommendation letter from your head of departments , make every legitimate effort to get it from him or her. Where it becomes impossible due to time constraints or unavoidable circumstances, write officially to the award ing body and explain your situation. If your explanation is genuine, they may consider your case or guide...

  Today, we specially congratulate these trio for securing the Elechi Scholarships 2026. For us, this is a start of a new era of a structured funding for undergraduate students and research in Nigeria, which is built on: 🔗 Sustained and predictable funding 🔗 Transparency 🔗 Scholarship Database and Tracking 🔗 Follow up and Impact Review For the winners, they will enjoy a: 🔗 A full tuition waiver 🔗 A partial accommodation waiver and 🔗 Monthly stipend for the next one year Our students, researchers and the whole academia can no longer have just handouts. Our vision is to mobilize and organize these resources for a new phase of funding in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions. Congratulations once again to Innocent, Oluchimamaka and Chisom

The world is made up of numbers, as Pythagoras would say and data is the new oil of the 21 st century. Data and datasets are the only metrics to measure progress, it is the foundation of Machine Learning-Artificial Intelligence and the cornerstone of all logical driven decision making. What separates a rich and poor nation? Up-to-date data about the state of the nation, the welfare of the citizens, births, deaths, movement of people, goods and services. In academics and universities across the world, the same applies. How are universities ranked? How are funding allocated? How do we track the extent of social investments made in the students and research in our institutions? It is all data; data will always speak for itself. In Nigeria, this is far from reality. Take the case of the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical sciences (FPS), we do not have a real-time database of which of our students have benefitted from any kind of funding, what those ...
