The Students’ Financial Support Office (StuFSO), under the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, has offered scholarships to brilliant but needy students pursuing postgraduate and undergraduate programmes at different levels for the 2024/2025 academic year.
This scheme is dedicated to supporting students financially to provide them with the sound environment needed to pursue their respective programmes.
StuFSO, at the end of every scholarship process, organizes a Scholars’ Forum to orient the awarded students.
Addressing the students, the Chairperson for the forum who is also the Dean of the School of Business, Prof. John Gartchie Gatsi, congratulated the recipients for their hard work and perseverance, encouraging them to remain focused on their studies.
He charged them to conduct themselves well while on campus and exhibit the values the University was inculcating in them. While reminding the students that education was a lifelong journey and did not end with schooling, he also urged them to seek knowledge beyond the classroom.

Prof. Gatsi further advised them not to forget the University after their studies and urged them to contribute to the scheme for the benefit of future students.
The Head of StuFSO, Ms. Grace Mensah, in her remarks, advised the beneficiaries to take their studies seriously to justify their inclusion in the programme since many more people were waiting to be supported by the University.
She entreated the students to avoid social vices that could hinder their academic progress and urged them to uphold the trust reposed in them by the University.
In addition to the financial support given to the students, StuFSO also provides academic advice, mentorship, and some internship opportunities for scholarship recipients.
