The Becky Egbe Foundation has introduced a new initiative aimed at supporting education by providing free JAMB UTME registration for 200 students from indigent backgrounds in the Oju and Obi local government areas of Benue State. This initiative, supported by Eje Godswill Agwu Grassroot Support for Tinubu and Alia 2027 is designed to remove financial barriers that often prevent students from taking their first step toward higher education.
Scholarships for High-Achieving Students
In addition to free JAMB registration, the foundation is offering scholarships to the top three candidates who score 250 marks and above and choose either Benue State University (BSU) Makurdi or the College of Education, Oju. These scholarships will help ease the financial burden associated with tertiary education and encourage academic excellence among students in the region.

Eligibility and Application Guidelines
The initiative is open to students from less privileged backgrounds who require financial assistance. The foundation has emphasized that students who can afford the JAMB registration fee should refrain from applying, ensuring that the opportunity is reserved for those in genuine need.
Addressing Educational Challenges
Education is a fundamental tool for societal and personal development, yet many students struggle due to financial constraints. By covering JAMB registration fees and providing scholarships, the Becky Egbe Foundation aims to break financial barriers, foster inclusivity, and empower students to pursue their academic dreams.
How to Apply
Eligible candidates can apply by reaching out through the contact details outlined in a facebook post. This initiative represents a significant step towards making higher education accessible to more students in Benue State.
