The League of Anambra Professionals (LAP) has announced the launch of its Future Forward Scholarship Programme, an educational support initiative aimed at assisting brilliant but financially disadvantaged students of Anambra State origin to pursue higher education.
According to LAP, the scheme is designed for candidates who have passed their Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) but are unable to proceed to higher institutions due to lack of funds. One of the organisation’s flagship Corporate Social Responsibility projects, the programme seeks to give hope to young indigenes of the state and strengthen its human capital through education.
Eligibility requirements include proof of indigent status, strong West African School Certificate and UTME results, testimonial of good behavior from school or evidence of extra-curricular engagement, confirmation of indigene status from the applicant’s traditional ruler or town union President General, a one-page personal statement by the candidate, and a supporting letter from a parent or guardian.
Applicants are required to complete the online application form via www.leagueofanambraprofessionals.org, while enquiries may be directed to leagueofanambraprofessionals@gmail.com. The deadline for submission is 15 October 2025.
LAP President , Sir Nnamdi Obi said: ‘This Future Forward Scholarship Scheme is part of our efforts to empower promising youths who would otherwise be denied the opportunity of higher education. By investing in these young people, we are investing in the future of Anambra State. We are shaping a generation of leaders, innovators, and change makers’.
Obi, a pharmacist and the CEO of Embassy Pharmaceuticals, further said: ‘This scholarship is more than financial aid. It is hope for brilliant youths who might otherwise be denied education. It is our modest way of securing the future of Ndi Anambra through education’.
The group urged churches, schools, traditional rulers, and community leaders to help spread the information to ensure that the scholarship reaches the most deserving students across the state.
