The De Imperial Philanthropic Family (DIPF) is set to hold the fourth edition of its annual Scholarship Examination for JS1 students across Southeast Nigeria, continuing an educational intervention that began in 2023.
Since its inception, the initiative has provided an opportunity for 250 students annually – 50 beneficiaries from each of the five Southeast states of Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo – to be inducted into the DIPF Scholarship Scheme.
Under the leadership of the National President, High Chief Dr. Sir Darlington Nwabunike, and the Chairman of the Education Committee, Chief Chikezie Okonkwo, De Imperial Philanthropic Family has continued to demonstrate its commitment to supporting education and creating opportunities for young people across the region.
The 2026 DIPF Scholarship Examination, organised by Best Brain Contest of Akpoazaa Group, will take place as follows:

With another 250 students expected to emerge from the 2026 exercise, the fourth edition will further strengthen DIPF’s sustained investment in the education of young people across the Southeast.
Beyond financial support, the scholarship programme is designed to identify promising students at an early stage, encourage academic excellence and help beneficiaries pursue their education with greater confidence.
Parents and guardians of registered candidates are encouraged to ensure that their children arrive at their respective examination centres early and comply with all examination guidelines.
As De Imperial Philanthropic Family marks another milestone in its educational intervention, its message remains clear: investing in the education of today’s children is an investment in the future of society.
