Words From Our Scholarship Recipients
"The Merit Scholarship reduced my financial burden significantly and allowed me to focus completely on my studies. I graduated with distinction and I'm now working at a hospital in Lagos. Hephzibah changed my life."
"I came from a very poor family in rural Ogun State. Without the Community Health Scholarship, I would never have been able to study. Today I serve as a JCHEW in my home village. I am so proud."
"Receiving the Hephzibah Excellence Award in 2024 was a turning point. The full tuition waiver allowed me to invest in extra learning resources. I plan to pursue an HND and eventually specialise in emergency medicine."
