The MSL Foundation has awarded scholarships to more than 250 students from the Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone, reinforcing its commitment to education and human capital development in Ebonyi State.
The award ceremony, held in Abakaliki, featured beneficiaries from Ebonyi, Izzi, Abakaliki, and Ohaukwu Local Government Areas, alongside government officials, academics, community leaders, and parents.
Founder of the foundation, Mr. Stanley Lebechi Mbam, said the initiative was driven by a passion to support hardworking students facing financial challenges. He noted that the programme, previously limited to Abakaliki LGA, has now been expanded to cover the entire Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone.
The foundation currently supports about 250 university students across various disciplines, including medicine, engineering, and law. Plans are underway to enhance transparency by paying tuition fees directly to institutions in future editions.
Beyond scholarships, the MSL Foundation also runs empowerment programmes and skills acquisition initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods at the grassroots.
