Our Story

Why the Fund Was Established

An institutional response to dropout risk and an opaque paper process — built for accessibility, transparency, and accountability.

The Fund was established to reduce school dropout driven by financial barriers and to replace a fully manual, paper-based scholarship process with a digital platform that improves accessibility, transparency, and accountability for applicants and administrators alike.

Who we serve

Students and families in the Sekondi constituency who demonstrate academic potential and financial need, including pathways into senior high, technical and vocational training, nursing and teacher training, and university study, according to each open award cycle.

The Fund operates under the leadership of Hon. Blay Nyameke Armah, Member of Parliament for Sekondi Constituency.
