NAPE Foundation supports eight Ashesi University College students

Eight Ashesi students, in January this year, were awarded the “Lee Nusich Scholarship” by the Naa Amerley Palm Education (NAPE) Foundation. The students are Esther Nipaa Osei ’10, Selase Kwamuar ’10, Emmanuel Gyane ’11, Francis Asante ’11, Afua Serwaa Biney ’11, Henry Cleland ’11, John Benson ’12 and Samuel Kwadwo Obeng ’12.

Scholarship recipient, Afua Serwa Biney, speaking on behalf of her colleagues, described what this means to the selected students. “We are grateful for this scholarship. It’s a great motivation as it goes to show that hard work always pays.” To qualify for a scholarship, an applicant must hold a minimum GPA requirement of 2.50 and show a monetary need as well.
