The Ernest Egyir Foundation has awarded scholarships to five needy but brilliant students.

The beneficiaries are pursuing various programmes at the University of Cape Coast, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Winneba Community Nursing College, and Kumasi Technical University.

This latest round of scholarship awards brings to 20 the total number of beneficiaries on the foundation’s University Scholarship Project.

According to the Founder and CEO of the Foundation, Ernest De-Graft Egyir, the foundation is his way of showing gratitude to God for His goodness and giving back to society.

Mr. Egyir, who is also the Founder and CEO of the Ghana CEO Network, believes that: “Everybody has a role to play to make the world a better place.”

It is his expectation that the contributions being made by the foundation will enrich lives, produce scholars and raise leaders.

Ernest Egyir Foundation is a registered nonprofit charity organisation committed to providing support for underprivileged people.

The foundation, which is a social responsibility commitment of the founder, provides financial aid to brilliant but needy university students from matriculation to graduation in various accredited tertiary institutions of Ghana.

Further, the Foundation’s Saltpond Skills Apprenticeship finances apprenticeship programmes for selected youth from Mfantseman in the Central Region of Ghana.

This programme equips beneficiaries with vocational skills for a better future.
