1. Enugu State Government Scholarships and Bursaries

As the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah’s administration provides scholarships and financial aid, often targeting academic excellence or specific, high-priority fields:

• Law School Bursary: The government has approved and paid bursaries to indigenes of Enugu State studying at the Nigerian Law School campuses to help alleviate their financial challenges.
• Aviation/Pilot Training Scholarships: The government has awarded full scholarships to exceptionally brilliant students from the state to train as pilots at institutions like the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), covering all fees.
• Awards for Academic Excellence: Scholarships up to university level, along with cash rewards, have been awarded to Enugu State representatives who won national competitions like the President’s Inter-Secondary School Debate Championship.
• Support for Vulnerable Children: The Governor has intervened to provide full primary-to-university scholarships for minors who were victims of abuse, ensuring their continuous rehabilitation and education.
• General Scholarship Board: The state operates the Enugu State Scholarship Board, which aims to provide opportunities to indigent but exceptionally brilliant students to study both within and outside the country.

2. Peter Mbah Foundation (PMF) Scholarships

The Peter Mbah Foundation (PMF), a not-for-profit and non-political organization, also runs its own scholarship program with a focus on education and poverty alleviation in rural communities.

• Overseas Study Scholarship: The foundation, often in collaboration with partners, offers scholarships for overseas study, such as for undergraduate, master’s, and specialized upskilling programs (e.g., for nurses) in countries like the Republic of Ireland, targeting indigenes and residents of Enugu State.
• Funding for Students: PMF’s mission explicitly includes funding the education of numerous students through its scholarship program as part of its humanitarian and community development projects.

The foundation’s commitment to education is part of its broader vision to bring children, women, and youth out of poverty through education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship development.
