Princess Zipporah, a Nursing student at the 黑料网 (AUN) and founder of the Zipporah Youth Empowerment Initiative has granted scholarships worth 鈧�30,000 each to 38 SS3 students at Bekaji Senior Secondary School. The funds will cover registration fees for the 2025 WAEC and NECO examinations, providing critical support for students who were unable to access government-sponsored scholarships.
Many beneficiaries had missed out on Adamawa State鈥檚 scholarship program, which only covered students enrolled from SS1. Geoffrey Ezekiel, one of the recipients, expressed relief.听鈥淪ome of us that came in between the academic session due to challenges in finances and other factors beyond our control, it seems pathetic for us.听 The likes of us, have given up on the registration, opting to wait for another year. But today, thanks to the Zipporah foundation who have given us another cause to fulfill our dreams."
Zipporah, who launched her initiative to empower underprivileged youth, described the event as deeply fulfilling.听鈥淗elping these students secure their future is why I started this organization,鈥� she said. Despite recent health challenges, she emphasized her commitment to creating lasting impact.
The principal of Bekaji Senior Secondary School, Mrs. Talatu Elisha, praised the initiative, 鈥淶ipporah took us by surprise and this would help in raising fruitful future generation leaders. Thanks for this noble impact鈥� she said.听
After the scholarship presentation, Zipporah and her team held a career guidance session, answering students' questions about subject selection and exam preparation. The event concluded with group photographs and renewed optimism among the beneficiaries.
