The Brew-Butler Family has launched a research fund to assist graduate students of the University of Cape Coast as they embark on scholarly research.<\/p>\n
The Samuel and Emelia Brew-Butler GRASAG Research Fund was birthed from the need for quality research especially in a country like Ghana where the necessity \u00a0for a paradigm shift in policy direction and development drive cannot be over emphasized.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”vsLbi8B74T5LVMJRC00L5JpzgXAbMnwC”]Many tertiary institutions in Ghana have been seeking in vain the requisite financing and support to enhance quality research work which sets institutions of higher learning like universities apart from others.
\nThe more a university comes out with excellent and useful research, the more it impacts on the country and the world at large.<\/p>\n
That notwithstanding, conducting graduate research in Ghana has become a daunting task for the researcher who is often times a student with limited financial resources.<\/p>\n
More often than not, the lack of funds either stalls research or forces the student researcher to choose easier topics that are of little relevance to society.<\/p>\n
In this light, the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Cape Coast has been considering ways to create a support system to help ease the financial burden on graduate research.<\/p>\n
