President Nana Akufo-Addo<\/strong><\/p>\n

About
\n30,000 tertiary students across Ghana have received scholarships from President
\nNana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

Their
\ntuition fees were accordingly paid under the District Scholarship Scheme run by
\nthe Ghana Scholarships Secretariat (GSS).<\/p>\n

The
\nDistrict Scholarship Scheme was introduced by President Akufo-Addo and was
\nlaunched in Takoradi in the Western Region in July, this year.<\/p>\n

The
\nscheme is expected to drive the government\u2019s developmental agenda by empowering
\nthe metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) to award
\nscholarships to not only needy but brilliant students but also deserving ones.<\/p>\n

Registrar
\nof the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat, Kingsley Agyemang, who made this known
\nto the media, said funding amounts of GH\u00a260,000,
\nGH\u00a280,000 and GH\u00a2100,000 were made available to the MMDAs. <\/p>\n

He
\nsaid the assemblies organised selection interviews for applicants who applied
\nfor the fund and made recommendations for the awards. And 30,000 students from
\nthe MMDAs, who qualified after appearing before the District Scholarship Review
\nCommittee, were awarded the scholarships.<\/p>\n

According
\nto Mr. Agyeman, the committee comprised chief executives of the assemblies as
\nthe chairpersons, representatives from the traditional authorities and from
\ntertiary institutions or the Ghana Education Service in the assemblies.<\/p>\n

He
\nrevealed that the beneficiaries are pursuing various courses from diploma to
\nPhD level.<\/p>\n

Nana Walks The Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n

He
\nstated that \u201ctoday we have seen that Ghanaians voted for a President who \u2018walks
\nthe talk\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFree
\nmeritorious tertiary education is a possibility and it is here to stay,\u201d he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

In
\nhis view, the scheme will ensure that scholarship opportunities are distributed
\nnationwide to the needy but brilliant students through the MMDAs.<\/p>\n

He
\nstated that the scheme would not only ensure accessibility but also
\ntransparency.<\/p>\n

According
\nto him, \u201cIn terms of transparency, the Scholarship Secretariat has and
\ncontinues to operate an open-door policy. What this decentralisation seeks to
\ndo is to now take this open-door policy right to the doorstep of students in
\ntheir districts.\u201d \u201cWe are making sure all the major stakeholders become part of
\nthe process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
