To achieve this mission, they have joined forces with the renowned Best Brain Contest organization, celebrated for its integrity and successful execution of educational programs and scholarship examinations.

This scholarship program will cover their educational expenses from Junior Secondary School 1 (J.S.1) to Senior Secondary School 3 (S.S.3), encompassing school fees, writing materials, WAEC fees for both Junior and Senior levels, and JAMB fees.
Hon. Frank Igbojindu, also known as Akpoazaa, the Chief Executive Officer of the Best Brain Contest, has expressed enthusiastic support for this noble cause. He underscored the organization’s commitment to nurturing the talents and potential of young minds in the South Eastern region.
The scholarship examinations, a pivotal moment in this initiative, are scheduled to take place in November 2023, commencing with Anambra state on November 18, 2023, at St. John of God Secondary School in Awka.
