Dr Uzor Cares Foundation Announces 2026 Bursary for Enugu Students
The Dr Uzor Cares Foundation has officially opened applications for its 2026 Bursary Scheme, designed to support undergraduates from Udi and Ezeagu Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Enugu State.
The annual initiative, now in its latest edition, aims to ease the financial burden of tuition and related costs for promising students who face economic challenges.
A Lifeline for Students in Need
According to the foundation, the bursary is more than financial support—it is a chance to keep educational dreams alive. It targets bright, hardworking undergraduates who might otherwise struggle to afford the rising costs of higher education.
“Education should never be a luxury. This bursary is our way of ensuring that no capable student is left behind due to financial struggles,” the foundation stated.
Who Can Apply
The 2026 Dr Uzor Cares Foundation Bursary comes with clear eligibility criteria to ensure transparency and fairness:
- Applicants must be currently enrolled in a recognised Nigerian higher institution, from 200 level to final year.
- Candidates must show strong academic performance or potential through past results.
- Only students indigenes of Udi or Ezeagu LGAs in Enugu State are eligible.
- All required documents must be correctly uploaded on the application portal. Any missing file leads to instant disqualification.

The application portal will be open from October 1, 2025, to October 30, 2025. Interested students must submit their applications exclusively through the Dr Uzor Cares Foundation Scholarship Portal.
The foundation urged students to apply early, stressing that the short timeline requires quick action.
