Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr Stephen Amoah, has awarded scholarships to 165 students in his constituency to support their education.
The ceremony, held on August 22, 2025, at the State Experimental School in Kumasi, saw beneficiaries drawn from institutions such as the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), University of Education, Winneba (UEW), Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), Garden City University College, University of Ghana, as well as other tertiary institutions across the country.
Speaking to the media after the event, Dr. Amoah reaffirmed his commitment to supporting bright but financially challenged students to pursue their academic dreams.
He noted that the initiative seeks to create a conducive learning environment for students, ensuring they are not distracted by financial difficulties.
“My main focus is on the Human Development Index, ensuring that we develop the human resource in the constituency. Once one has the ability, they can perform any task in this world to survive economically,” he stated.
Dr. Amoah further emphasised that the scholarship programme is not limited to supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) but is open to all deserving students, regardless of political affiliation.
“The scholarship is not party-specific, but I must be honest with you: NPP members benefit more because they apply. When they apply, we don’t even know their background, but we give to all of them.
“We don’t look at faces, we don’t look at height, and we don’t look at one’s social status. We only ensure that we have enough resources to support students in tertiary institutions,” he added.
