General News of Monday, 12 July 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Registrar of the Scholarship Secretariat, Kingsley Agyemang, has commended the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for his role in the successful implementation of the online scholarship application portal, and the opportunity it has created for the youth. The online scholarship application portal, a digital initiative by the government to decentralise the scholarship application process and also to make scholarship applications accessible to needy students at the local level throughout the country, was launched last year. Speaking at a ceremony in Accra to herald the opening of the portal for the 2021/2022 academic year, Kingsley Agyemang said the online portal is a brainchild of Dr Bawumia, and commend him for ensuring its successful implementation. This goes to confirm that had it not been for the hardworking initiative of the Vice-President, those 47,000 students would not have benefitted from the programme,” Kingsley Agyemang said. This year's online student scholarship application, which will remain open until July 21, is expected to attract even larger numbers than last year, with 55,000 beneficiaries expected.
