The examination for the scholarship award will be an annual exercise for eligible students.
The maiden scholarship examination is scheduled to hold on September 19, 2023 and is open to eligible JSS1, SS1 and Year-1 students of any Nigerian University.
A statement by Ugochinyere said application forms for the Ikenga Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu scholarship examination are obtainable from traditional rulers of communities in Ideato North and Ideato South local government areas of Imo State.
