Beatrice Frimpong, a former student of T. I. Ahmaddiya SHS in Kumasi, has been selected among hundreds of applicants who took part in the Eugenmat Travel Consult’s 2024 scholarship awards for needy but brilliant students.
The scheme offers two students, aged between 19 and 24, 100% scholarships valued at $30,000 to study in Canada every year.
Beatrice, who has already secured her visa to study mining engineering at the University of Alberta in Canada, will enjoy a full scholarship package that includes a birth certificate, passport, visa acquisition, plane ticket, fully paid school fees, and stipends.
Mr. Eugene Kofi Amankwah, Chief Executive Officer of Eugenmat Travel and Consult, explained that his motivation to support young students to realise their dreams stems from his personal experience growing up before obtaining his first degree.
According to him, it took the intervention of Alexander Ackon, a former Ashanti Regional Minister, before he could complete university to enable him to establish a business that is thriving, hence the decision to also give back to society by supporting others who are in dire need of financial support.
He encouraged Beatrice Frimpong to take her studies seriously when she gets to Canada to enable her to realise her dream to become a useful citizen and contribute her quota to the socioeconomic development of the society.
Mr. George Alfred Koomson, Obuasi Municipal Director of Education, commended Eugenmat Travel Consult for his contributions towards society, especially in the area of education.
He expressed his excitement with regard to the transparent nature of the scholarship and emphasised the need to always prioritise merit and competence over other considerations.
Beatrice Frimpong expressed her profound gratitude to Eugenmat Travel and Consult for the opportunity to realise her lifelong dream of accessing international education.
