Seven beneficiaries. Awards successfully disbursed.
The Inaugural Bursary Awards
The 2026 MEF Bursary Programme received 34 applications, from which seven students were selected following the Foundation’s review process. All seven selected beneficiaries have now received their bursary awards.
The Foundation recognises the importance of supporting students as they pursue their academic goals. Through this initiative, MEF seeks to contribute to a community in which access to educational opportunity is strengthened and students are encouraged to continue working towards their aspirations.
Appreciation to the Founder
The inaugural edition of the MEF Bursary Programme was solely funded by the Founder of the Mgbidi Education Foundation, Chief Tom Onyeagwa, PhD, Idejiuno na Mgbidi.
The Foundation expresses its sincere appreciation for his generosity and commitment to educational advancement. His support made it possible for the 2026 awards to be disbursed to all seven selected beneficiaries and provided a meaningful foundation for the programme’s future development.
Looking Ahead
The Mgbidi Education Foundation and its Board are working towards concluding the modalities for future editions of the bursary programme. Further information will be communicated through the Foundation’s official channels once the relevant decisions have been finalised.
Future awards will depend on available funding and the conditions approved for each edition. The Foundation therefore encourages students and other interested persons to follow its official announcements for confirmed information about eligibility, application requirements and timelines.
