FIFTY-SEVEN beneficiaries of the Asogli Education Fund established by the Agbogbomefia, Togbe Afede XIV, have successfully completed their courses with good results.
Two of the successful students have won Chinese government scholarships and are already pursuing various degree programmes in China.
This was contained in a press release signed by the secretary to the Asogli State Council, Mr John Kukah, and issued at Ho ahead of the celebration of the Yam festival of the Asogli state on Saturday, September 25.
According to the release, the latest beneficiary of the Chinese government scholarship award was the winner of the 2008 Tourism and Beauty Pageant, Miss Sefakor Agidi, who was partially sponsored by the Asogli Education Fund during her studies at the Ho Polytechnic.
The release stated that Miss Agidi will leave for China this month to do a one-year Chinese language study at the Beijing Language and Culture University before embarking on her main undergraduate programme in Tourism Management at the Beijing International Students University for four years.
It said all fees, including tuition, boarding, medical care, learning materials and living allowances for the five years study in China were covered by full scholarship.
The release expressed the gratitude of the Asogli State Council to the Chinese government for its wonderful support to educational endeavours, adding that, they were equally grateful to benefactors whose continued donation into the Asogli Education Fund were making those things happen.
“We continue to receive more applications from deserving students for financial support to further their education. We are unable to honour most of the requests because of our limited resources. We are, therefore, appealing to all individuals, corporate bodies, organisations and churches to donate generously to the fund during this year’s yam festival celebration and beyond to enable us to satisfy the educational ambitions of our hardworking youth,” the release stated.
