Fifty-one students in the Atwima Mponua constituency of the Ashanti Region have received over GHs92,000 in scholarships.

It forms part of an initiative of the Member of Parliament for the area, Isaac Kwame Asiamah, to improve the standard of living through education.

Beneficiaries, including newly-admitted and continuing students, are at the secondary and tertiary levels of education.

In a ceremony to present the cheques, Isaac Asiamah acknowledged the difficulties of some parents to cater for the educational needs of their wards, hence the initiative.

"As we do every year, today we have met here to support some tertiary students with their fees and needs. Over the past year, I supported more students because the students in need in the constituency are many," he said.

The former Minister for Youth and Sports assured of his commitment to improving the standard of education in his constituency.

He appealed to the beneficiaries to make good use of the opportunity given to them.

One of the beneficiaries, Edmund Owusu Bempah appreciates the support.

“This is not the first time I am receiving the support. It has helped me in my education and I am very appreciative,” he said.
