Celebrated Gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, have offered full scholarships to one hundred undergraduates of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) through her charity initiative, the MercyIsBlessed Foundation.
The couple announced the gesture before a crowd of elated students during their tour of the University in Calabar, Cross River State on Friday, July 12, 2024.
While the scholarship is with immediate effect, the criteria for selection and other modalities to shortlist eligible candidates would be communicated through appropriate channels.
The philanthropic gesture by the couple wasn’t the first this year. In April, Mercy Chinwo and Blessed Uzochikwa awarded scholarships to 50 undergraduates at the University of Port Harcourt on behalf of their Foundation and their son, Charis.
The reaction of netizens to this generousity was delightful and pleasing. Read some compiled:
