Ninety students in the Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly have been presented with scholarships by the Chief Executive of the Assembly, Sandra Owusu Ahinkorah.
The presentation was under the district scholarship scheme introduced by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Mrs Ahinkorah who also doubles as the municipal scholarship committee chairperson charged the beneficiaries to take their studies seriously in order not to lose the scholarship since it is for needy but brilliant students.
She also expressed gratitude to the president for his initiative to decentralise the scholarship scheme to empower MMDCEs and to ensure transparency in the award of scholarship nationwide.
The MCE also disclosed that since the launch of the district awards scheme about 30,000 students have benefited and are pursuing diploma, degree and PhD programmes.
The recipients thanked the MCE and her Assembly for ensuring that students above their quota were awarded.
They expressed their preparedness to put their shoulder to the wheel to make the assembly proud.
