At precisely 11 a.m., the E.C.K scholarship team arrived at the Federal University of Technology Owerri, ready to fulfill its promise. Beneficiaries awaited with anticipation, eager to witness the transformative impact of the scholarship firsthand. Today, the E.C.K Foundation is not just making a statement; it is actively reshaping the narrative around education and access.
Chief Dr. Emeka Charles Kalu, Chairman/CEO of E.C.K Foundation, has taken bold steps to champion learning opportunities for all by kicking off the 2024/2025 scholarship program for tertiary students. This initiative is empowering young minds and turning aspirations into reality. It’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to breaking barriers and fostering generational change through quality education.
Building the Nation
Education is a lifelong investment, not merely a one-time intervention. Cutting off support jeopardizes the academic futures of students, especially those from marginalized communities. By steadfastly continuing these scholarships, the E.C.K Foundation empowers beneficiaries to complete their studies without financial interruptions, paving the way for stable careers and active, informed citizenship. This dedication aligns seamlessly with global aspirations like Sustainable Development Goal 4, which champions inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
