The Nembe Ibe USA Scholarship
Award Program: Goal is to award both post-primary and
post-secondary tuition and board four to five year scholarships to deserving non-violent students in the
Nembe Ibe School System. One student per school will be awarded a scholarship, based on moral
and academic standards. The Principals of each school will be required to
contact Nembe Ibe USA
Liaison officer for information on the scholarship award program and provide
the appropriate
supporting documents. The nominated students at the post-secondary level will also write a 300-word
essay on why they should be awarded the scholarship and how the community will benefit from their
awards. All scholarships are tenable in Nigerian Universities at a cost of about
50,000 Naira per
school year
student at the post secondary level. At the post primary level, cost estimate per student per
term will be about
10,000 Naira. Funds will be raised from members of the Nembe Ibe USA, the
companies operating in the Nembe Ibe area, NGOs, and the State government
.

School Renovations/Equipments: Goal is to identify, cost, and supply through donations,
schools in the Nembe Ibe school system that need computers, internet, books, math and science
laboratory supplies and teaching aids in order to improve the educational standards in the area. We
will also identify, cost, and supply schools that need renovations. All works will be done by local labor
and volunteers. Donations are highly welcomed.

action items:

  • Provision of medical supplies such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meter kits for
    diabetics and digital thermometers.
