THE Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has awarded three years’ scholarships worth GH¢67,240.00 to 50 students to attend senior high schools of their choice across the country.
The TMA has since 1996 awarded scholarships to 200 needy students to attend various second-cycle schools in the country.
According to the officer incharge of education at the TMA, Mr Sevlo Adjei, the students had the option to choose to become either day or boarding students.
He made this known when the selected 50 students received their scholarship packages for the 2009 and 2010 academic years at a presentation ceremony.
Mr Adjei said the selected 50 beneficiaries were made up of 30 boarding students who received a package of scholarships worth GH¢1,521 for three years each and 15 day students who had a package of GH¢630.00 each for three years.
The Metropolitan Chief Executive of Tema, Mr Robert Kempes Ofosuware, who presented the scholarships to the beneficiaries, assured the students of the assembly’s support but advised them to learn hard to retain the scholarship.
He said they must justify the expenditure the government was making on them from the taxpayer’s toil, adding that the package would be withdrawn if they failed to perform well by producing good results.
The Metropolitan Director of Education, Mr Kwesi Hutchful, expressed the gratitude of the Ghana Education Service (GES) for the assembly’s support for the students.
