In a remarkable display of commitment to education, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North, Eric Edem Agbana, has awarded scholarships to 302 tertiary students from his constituency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This initiative, dubbed the Edem Agbana Scholarship Scheme, aims to cover essential education costs, including tuition fees, textbooks, and other academic expenses.<\/p>\n

The scholarship program prioritizes inclusivity, with 22 persons with disabilities and 25 young women pursuing STEM studies receiving 100% funding.<\/p>\n

Additionally, three students received laptops to aid in their academic endeavors, while the remaining students received between 60% to 80% funding.<\/p>\n
