The League of Anambra Professionals (LAP) has announced the launch of its Future Forward Scholarship Programme aimed at assisting brilliant but financially disadvantaged students of Anambra origin to pursue higher education.

The educational support initiative, according to LAP, is designed for candidates who have passed their Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, examinations, but were unable to proceed to the university due to lack of funds.

Described as one of the organization’s flagship Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects, the programme seeks to give hope to young Anambra people and strengthen the state’s human capital through education.

LAP President, Nnamdi Obi said eligibility requirements include proof of indigent status, strong WASC/JAMB 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.

According to him, interested applicants are required to complete the online application form via www.leagueofanambraprofessionals.org, while inquiries may be directed to leagueofanambraprofessionals@gmail.com. The deadline for submission is October 15, 2025.

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.

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.
