“If Africa is to succeed economically, culturally, and politically, it must have a strong post-secondary sector; academic institutions are central to the future. After being shunted to the side by national governments and international agencies alike almost two decades, higher education is again recognized as a key sector in African development… Enrollment in Ghana is less than 3 percent of the eligible age group, and in many countries the figure is under 1 percent of the eligible age cohort. For instance, in Malawi and Tanzania, the enrollment is 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent of the eligible age group, respectively. Those who have access to post-secondary education in Africa overall represent less than 3 percent of the eligible age group- the lowest in the world by a significant percentage”.

Testimonial: I aspire to be a Chartered Accountant and an accomplished Business Consultant. I wish to express my sincerest gratitude to NAPE Foundation for awarding me this scholarship again. Thank you for reviving my dreams and giving me hope. I applied for the scholarship knowing it is my last resort, without it I definitely would have had to withdraw from school. However with this scholarship, I now know I would be able to complete my studies at Ashesi University. Certainly, a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration would open the door for me to pursue my educational goals of doing a MBA and ACCA in the near future. I am deeply grateful.

Program of Study: Computer Science, Ashesi University
Testimonial: I am very much grateful for NAPE Foundation’s tremendous support for my education. I live far away from my college and my family could not afford to put me in college housing. I used to spend a great amount of my academic time traveling to and from my campus. I used to get tired, get to class so late, and worst of all, could not finish my assignments on time. Thankfully NAPE Foundation awarded me a housing scholarship and that has changed my academic life. I get enough time for my academic work and that has resulted in a wonderful academic performance within the last two years. I have been awarded a NAPE Foundation scholarship for two years and I affirm that it has made my education so refreshing. May God bless the entire NAPE Foundation team.
