Professor Amevi Acakpovi, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Accra Technical University (ATU), has praised students for their innovative projects, which have earned them fully funded scholarships. "As part of this collaboration, one of the activities was to award scholarships to brilliant but needy students in the Department of Interior Design and Upholstery Technology," he stated. "A competition was held where students applied their innovative designs and underwent a rigorous selection process by industry professionals, and they were selected for these prizes." Professor Amevi's commendation comes after several students of the school received a fully funded scholarship through a competitive design contest.
The initiative, spearheaded by Ideal Home Deco (IHD) in collaboration with Interior Designers and Decorators Ghana (IDDG), recognizes and rewards students for their outstanding creativity in furniture, swimming pool, and open-concept design projects.
From an initial 24 projects, 10 students were shortlisted.
A second round of evaluation narrowed the selection to six winners, who were awarded fully funded scholarships covering both tuition and accommodation for the entirety of their university studies.
