E-syllabus for Africa, a non-governmental organisation, has provided full scholarship to brilliant but needy students in the Eastern Region to further their education at any university of their choice.<\/p>\n
They are Daniel Arthur, 30, and Leticia Adu 19, both from the Oti Boateng Senior High School in Koforidua, who were selected after a Mathematics and Science test contested by over 120 students from the Eastern and Volta Regions.<\/p>\n
The scholarship would assist the beneficiaries to purchase admission forms of any tertiary institution of their choice, a bursary of 750 dollars each academic year and all other costs relating to their education.<\/p>\n
Mr John Akwetey, the Eastern Regional Director of E-syllabus for Africa, said the competition was instituted by the organisation, two years ago, as a platform to identify brilliant students in the Sciences but who needed assistance.<\/p>\n
He said the objective was to encourage the study of Mathematics and Science. About 12 students have benefited from the scheme since its inception.<\/p>\n
Mr Arthur told the Ghana News Agency that he completed Senior High School in 2007, but he had not been able to continue due to financial difficulties.<\/p>\n
The visibly elated Mr Arthur said with the sponsorship, he was hopeful to achieve his childhood dream of becoming a medical doctor and thanked those who helped him to participate in the competition.<\/p>\n
