Tag Bursary

The Dr Uzor Cares Foundation Bursary for 2026 has been announced, and it is aimed squarely at supporting students from Udi and Ezeagu Local Government Areas of Enugu State. The scheme, now in its latest round, continues the foundation’s push to ease the heavy load of tuition and related expenses for undergraduates who show promise but face money struggles.

The bursary is more than just financial aid, it is a chance to keep dreams alive. It is targeted at young people who have the brains and drive but whose pockets may not always stretch to cover the costs of higher education.

Who Can Apply

According to the foundation, the bursary comes with a clear set of rules. Applicants must:

• Be currently studying in a recognised Nigerian higher educational institution, from 200 level up to the final year.
• Show good academic records or potential through past results.
• Come strictly from Ezeagu or Udi LGAs in Enugu State.
• Upload all the needed documents correctly on the application portal, since missing one means instant disqualification.

It is simple but strict, meant to ensure fairness and transparency.

Dates and How to Apply

The bursary application opens on 1 October 2025 and closes on 30 October 2025. Interested students are required to apply through the official Dr Uzor Cares Foundation Scholarship Portal.

Time is short, and the foundation urges applicants to act fast before the window closes.

About the Foundation

Its work goes beyond bursaries. It also offers vocational and skills training, healthcare support, entrepreneurship backing, and other services meant to uplift vulnerable members of society.
