The MTN Ghana Foundation is excited to announce that it has awarded 200 scholarships to students in public tertiary institutions through its Bright Scholarship program.
These deserving students will receive full tuition, accommodation, and stipends for a full academic year and during the period of their education in their respective universities.
Speaking at a ceremony to present the scholarships to the students at MTN House in Accra, the CEO of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, advised the beneficiaries to take advantage of the opportunity granted to them.
He emphasized that the scholarships are not just financial support, but an investment in their dreams, potential, and the promise of a better tomorrow. He expressed excitement to see how each recipient will use the opportunity to further their education, pursue their goals, and contribute positively to society.
The Director for Pre-Tertiary Education at the Ministry of Education, who was the special guest of honor, commended MTN for the initiative and for creating a platform to help needy students in the country. He urged the beneficiaries to aim high and make good use of the scholarship.
A similar award ceremony was held in Kumasi led by Robert Kuzoe, Senior Manager, for the MTN Ghana Foundation.
