Eleven students of Ho Technical University (HTU) have been awarded scholarships by the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation-GNPC Foundation as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.
The scholarships were presented to the beneficiaries, comprising ten undergraduate and one postgraduate students, at a brief ceremony held at the F.O. Kwami Council Chamber on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
According to Ms. Abigail Boateng of the GNPC Foundation’s Sustainability Department, the scholars were selected based on their academic merits and are expected to maintain good conduct and excellent academic performance to continue benefiting from the scholarship annually.
In addition, she noted that, the Scholarship Scheme aims to develop and supply relevant skills for the rapid development of Ghana’s fledging petroleum industry. The scholarship covers tuition, accommodation and other academic expenses.
Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ben Honyenuga, expressed gratitude to the GNPC Foundation for coming to the aid of the students, and was hopeful they will justify their selection by putting in maximum effort to sustain their academic performance. He also appealed for further support to advance the university’s mandate.
The GNPC delegation included Mr. Michael Ennu Cornelius. Other Management officers present included the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Christopher Mensah, Registrar, Dr. Christopher Amehoe, as well as Deans and Directors.
