Lebanese Community Scholarship Programme Awards 12 Law Students at the University of Ghana

The Lebanese Community Scholarship Programme has awarded scholarships to 12 law students at the faculty of law, University of Ghana, in its 10th year. The programme is aimed at supporting the education of students who show potential and academic excellence in the legal field.

Maher Kheir, the Lebanese Ambassador to Ghana, highlighted the importance of legal education, emphasising that societies thrive on the strength of law. He challenged the beneficiaries to uphold the tenets of the legal profession as they journey through their education.

Professor Daniel Ofori, Provost of the College of Humanities, commended the Lebanese community for their continuous commitment to the scheme over the past 10 years.

Professor Raymond Atuguba, Dean of the Law Faculty, thanked the sponsors for their support to the school and students each year towards academic success. He also urged the Lebanese community to increase the number of students, the amount and the scope of the scholarship to benefit more students.

Richard Adjei Kyeremanteng, one of the beneficiaries, expressed gratitude to the donors for their support and promised that the beneficiaries will study hard to justify the expression of confidence in them.

The Lebanese Community Scholarship Programme has been supporting the education of Ghanaian students in the legal field since 2013. The scholarship programme has helped to ease the financial burden on families and has boosted academic performance for beneficiaries.

As Ghana continues to develop its legal sector, such initiatives from the Lebanese Community are essential to help support students who are aspiring to become legal professionals in Ghana.
