FIFTY-TWO needy students in the Ho Municipality are benefiting from a GH¢12,911.20 scholarship scheme by the Asogli Education Fund.
The scholarship will enable the students to continue their education to institutions of higher learning in the country.
Thirty of the students will proceed to the polytechnic and university levels, while 22 students will continue to the junior and senior high school levels, as well as technical and vocational institutions.
This was contained in a release issued last Monday and signed by Mr John Kokah, Secretary of the Asogli Education Fund.
The assistance to the students was made possible in fulfilment of a promise made at last year’s Asogli Yam Festival by the Agbogbomefia, Togbe Afede XIV, to support the fund.
According to the release, 35 of the beneficiaries have already received their cheques worth GH¢8,317.00 whilst the remaining 17 will receive theirs totalling GH¢4,594.20 by the end of January, 2009.
The release said Togbe Afede used the opportunity to advise the students to justify the investment made in their education by studying hard to attain good results, adding that on completion of their courses, they should group themselves into a formidable Asogli Scholars Union to mobilise funds to assist their younger brothers and sisters.
He commended the donors of the amount and hoped that this would facilitate the attainment of the fund’s objective of raising the standard of education in the area and the region as a whole.
