Promise Delivered: MKNK Foundation Awards LRD 1 Million in Scholarships to 17 Deserving Students

It’s good to defend and fight for our people. But it is not enough. We must help lift them and impact their lives in whatever little way we can. We are inspired to give back. We promised to provide at least nine (9) full scholarships to Liberian students and youth every academic year. Today at Corina Hotel in Monrovia, we awarded 17 scholarships to university and high school students for the 2024/2025 academic year. The MKNK Foundation also provided book bags and copybooks for all beneficiaries.
