In a groundbreaking stride toward educational equity and global inclusion, the New York Center for Advanced Research (NYCAR) has unveiled the Evangelista Nze Memorial Charity Scholarship — a transformative initiative set to empower 5,000 Nigerians through access to world-class postgraduate education.
This international scholarship program stands as a tribute to the life and legacy of Evangelista Nze, a woman whose compassion, intellect, and belief in human potential continue to inspire long after her passing. Through this initiative, NYCAR translates her enduring spirit of service into a living movement for knowledge, opportunity, and hope.
A Legacy of Compassion Turned Global Impact
The Evangelista Nze Memorial Charity Scholarship is not simply an academic award — it is a visionary platform for empowerment. It enables deserving Nigerians to pursue Postgraduate Diplomas, Master’s, and Doctoral programs across NYCAR’s global academic network.
Guided by international standards of excellence, the scholarship provides recipients with a U.S.-accredited learning experience that blends flexibility, innovation, and mentorship. Courses are delivered through NYCAR’s advanced digital learning ecosystem — an interactive platform that connects students with faculty and mentors from around the world.
Participants benefit from live and recorded lectures, peer collaborations, and practical assignments that bridge academic knowledge with real-world application. The result is a dynamic and inclusive learning journey that transforms education from a distant dream into a reachable reality.
Education as a Human Right
According to Prof. MarkAnthony Nze, Academic Director and Chair of the Academic Board at NYCAR, the scholarship embodies NYCAR’s founding principle: that education must be a human right, not a privilege.
“The Evangelista Nze Scholarship is about restoring fairness to education,” Prof. Nze explained. “Every qualified Nigerian deserves access to the same level of global learning as their peers in New York, London, or Toronto. What we are doing is not charity — it is justice through knowledge.”
He further described the initiative as “a moral commitment to human progress”, emphasizing that when people are educated, communities prosper, and nations rise.

Global Learning, Local Relevance
Under this program, recipients will pursue specialized studies in fields that address Nigeria’s and Africa’s most pressing developmental needs — including Health and Nursing, Education, Business Leadership, Psychology, Project Management, Policy, Communication, and Innovation.
Each curriculum has been designed to align with both U.S. academic benchmarks and local professional relevance, ensuring that graduates emerge not only as degree holders but as leaders equipped to create change within their communities.
Through NYCAR’s mentorship network, learners will also receive guidance from international scholars and industry leaders, bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and practical impact.
Honoring a Legacy, Building a Future
The scholarship is named after Evangelista Nze, whose life was marked by faith, compassion, and an unshakable belief in the power of education. Her legacy now lives on as a beacon for young Africans seeking to transform adversity into achievement.
“This scholarship is not just in her memory — it is her mission continued,” Prof. Nze remarked. “She believed in lifting others. Now, her spirit will lift thousands more through education.”
Through this initiative, NYCAR redefines global education philanthropy, ensuring that the benefits of advanced learning are no longer limited by geography or privilege.
