The Heritage Christian University College (HCUC) based in Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region has launched a Two Million Ghana Cedis (¢2,000,000.00) scholarship endorsement fund to provide support for the needy but brilliant students whose parents are not financially sound.

Speaking at the launching, the Controller and Accountant General, Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem mentioned that, the college is introducing a program that goes beyond traditional education, preparing students to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of knowledge and entrepreneurship while upholding ethical standards.

He stated that ethics is becoming an issue of late in our working environment as people can not establish bad deeds from good in their doings because, in everything they do, they think that is the way to go, indicating that if ‘we have institutions that intend to add value and advance ethics in our dealings such an institution should be commended.’

He was of the view that the launch of the endowment fund is a testament to the commitment of the Heritage Christian University College to inclusively have access to quality education, saying that, the initiative is not merely an act of generosity but rather it is a strategic move that aligns with the broader goal of fostering entrepreneurship.

He asked the public to support them by way of donating any amount of money to push the initiative to enable them to offer scholarships to more SHS graduates while moving them out of the street and helping change their lives.

Dr. Boadu adds, that many youths are into robbery activities because they cannot get assistance from anybody to continue their education, thus, the HCUC saw the need to come out with such an initiative to help offer assistance to such people in the various communities and give them hope.

Meanwhile, the President of the Heritage Christian University College, Dr. Samuel Twumasi Ankrah said, that noble vision of the College is to become the leading Christian University across Ghana and beyond, promoting excellence in knowledge and entrepreneurship.
