 The Chuka and Uchenna Memorial scholarship program aims to honor the legacy of the Okeke's siblings by sponsoring deserving scholastic achievers, who would otherwise be unable to afford a premium secondary school education, with tuition paid for their 6 years of schooling at Loyola Jesuit college (or any of the Jesuit partner schools in Nigeria). 

Only Nigerian citizens who are interested in attending any of the Jesuit schools in Nigeria and have or plans to apply for the school entrance examination are eligible to apply for the scholarship program.  

Nigerian by birth with preference given based on community in the following order:

• Awkuzu by birth ( either biological father or mother is a native of Awkuzu)
• Anambra native 
• Native of one of the other 4  Igbo states (Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Enugu)

You can apply for the scholarship program through the link here. Make sure you read the criteria and requirement before you proceed with the application.

The beneficiary of the scholarship program will be financially sponsored through JSS1 to SSS3. The full tuition fee will be paid to the school and monthly stipend provided to the student as support.

The final selection of scholarship awardee by the Chuka & Uchenna Memorial Scholarship Selection Committee as appointed by the Okeke Family. 

The announcement date for the beneficiary of the scholarship will be communicated soon. Stay tuned to the website and our Facebook page for information. 

If you're not selected for a batch, unfortunately, you will be unable to reapply the next year. The reason for that is because you would be a year older by then, and age requirement is key in the application process. Also, the scholarship is open to people looking to start JSS1 studies. By the following year, you will be in JSS2, which does not qualify you.

This scholarship is only open to Nigerian citizens, living in Nigeria. It is not open to international students.

The key dates to take note of are: Scholarship application deadline date, 15th January, 2025; and Jesuit Schools entrance examination date, 15th February, 2025.
