Samuel Nwakeze Okechukwu Echezona Memorial Scholarship Foundation

Samuel Nwakeze Okechukwu Echezona Memorial Scholarship Foundation

Founded in 2009, The Samuel Nwakeze Okechukwu Echezona Memorial Scholarship Foundation awards academic scholarships to Nigerian students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievements in the face of adversity. 

 The Samuel Nwakeze Okechukwu Echezona Memorial Scholarship Foundation uplifts at-risk youth who, due to unfortunate circumstances, are not afforded the same academic opportunities as their counterparts. The Samuel Nwakeze Okechukwu Echezona Memorial Scholarship Foundation is committed to exposing young minds to critical developmental subjects such as financial literacy and independent life skills. Qualifying students are those who have lost at least one parent and/or are the primary financial contributor of their household due to death, illness, forced retirement or an incapacitating accident.

 

To date, the Samuel Nwakeze Okechukwu Echezona Memorial Scholarship Foundation has awarded over N60 million Naira in academic scholarships to qualifying students throughout Nigeria. 

The foundation positions students to not only positively impact their community, but society as a whole, by way of economic development and an unrivaled sense of self-worth.

Okwesilieze na Ogidi

Chief Dr. Okechukwu Samuel “Eche” Echezona (Okwesilieze na Ogidi Kingdom) a highly decorated and world renowned Nigerian American Emergency Medicine Physician and member of the Fellow of Academic Emergency Physicians, is a diplomate of the American Board of Emergency Medicine and an Attending Physician at Queens Hospital Center Emergency Department as well as an assistant Professor at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York.  

In 2021 Chief Dr. Echezona founded Return to Kingdom, an all-inclusive, culturally curated luxury travel experience in Nigeria. Return To Kingdom strives to reconnect African Americans, and other people of African descent throughout the diaspora, to their rightful roots within Africa by way of Nigeria. While heightening their sense of ownership, and self-awareness of their rightful place within Africa, Return To Kingdom aims to increase African-American ownership of land, businesses and the overall residency within Africa.  

Having already accomplished so much, and with a heart for, and of, the people, Chief Dr. Echezona has only just begun to realize his goals and more importantly, his global impact by way of his philanthropic, cultural and medical contributions.
