Browcon Foundation Awards Scholarships to 100 Students

Dr Samuel Ndubuisi-Brown, the founder of the Browcon Foundation, awarded scholarships to 100 secondary school students in the Federal Capital Territory on October 13, as part of an initiative to support vulnerable children and help out-of-school pupils return to education. The scholarships were aimed at easing the financial burden of education on struggling families, especially at the start of a new academic session.

The beneficiaries were selected from five schools in Abuja: Junior Secondary School, Maitama; Junior Secondary School, Wuse Zone 2; Junior Secondary School, Jabi 2; Junior Secondary School, Kado Kuchi; and Junior Secondary School, Aleita. Ndubuisi-Brown emphasized the importance of providing educational support, stating that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their education.

He described the beneficiaries as representing "young lives, young dreams and futures that deserve to be given a chance." Mrs Mary Akudegbe, Principal of Jabi 2 Junior Secondary School, acknowledged the timely intervention, while parent Mr Rollings Shawaina praised the foundation's commitment to helping vulnerable members of society.
