MTN Ghana Awards 500 Scholarships to Brilliant But Needy Students And Teachers Under MTN Bright Scholarship Initiative

Telecommunications giant MTN Ghana has awarded scholarships to 500 needy but brilliant students and teachers nationwide as part of its MTN Bright Scholarship initiative of the MTN Ghana Foundation.

This initiative aims to empower brilliant but needy Ghanaian youth through education despite financial struggle.

The scholarship package covers tuition, hostel, and a stipend for books and other academic needs for the entire duration of their studies at various public universities and tertiary institutions in Ghana for 300 scholarships for students and 200 for teachers.

Speaking at the second cohort awards ceremony at KNUST, Great Hall in Kumasi, the Senior Manager of MTN Ghana, Mr Robert Kuzoe, said the initiative reaffirms MTN’s commitment to investing in the future of Ghana through education.

According to him, the Bright Scholarship is not just financial support; it is an investment in the dreams and potential of these young Ghanaians.

“At MTN, we believe education is the foundation for national development, and financial challenges should not be a hindrance to one’s academic accessibility,” he stated.

Mr Robert Kuzoe noted that the MTN Bright Scholarship would continue to support brilliant but needy students in the country who would later contribute their quota to the society in which they find themselves.

The Senior Manager of MTN Ghana explained that beneficiaries were selected through a rigorous process, which included academic performance assessment, interviews, and verification of financial need.

Some beneficiaries who shared their stories expressed profound gratitude to MTN Ghana Foundation, describing the scholarship as a life-changing opportunity to overcome their financial challenges.

Parents and guardians of these beneficiaries lauded this initiative by MTN Ghana for lifting a heavy burden on them in terms of their wards’ educational challenges.
