Gospel star Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, have awarded full scholarships to 100 University of Calabar undergraduates through their Mercyisblessed Foundation.
The couple made the announcement during a visit to the university on July 12, 2024, bringing joy to the students.
The scholarship covers all school fees and additional support to ensure academic stability for deserving yet financially challenged students.
Mercy Chinwo expressed that this gesture is a way of giving back to the community that nurtured her.
She said …
“Port Harcourt is home to me any day. The memories are fresh of a city where I dared to dream and hope for a purposeful life. I thank the Lord for His work in me and through me so far. The scholarship is to inspire students that their dreams and ambitions are valid and not to give up because there is a God who has ‘Excess Love’.”
It was learned that the scholarship takes effect immediately, and the selection criteria and modalities for identifying eligible candidates will be communicated through the appropriate channels.
In addition to the University of Calabar scholarships, Mercy Chinwo had previously awarded scholarships to 50 students at the University of Port Harcourt in April.
