On Thursday 22 August 2024, the British High Commissioner's residence was filled with excitement, as the British High Commission Accra, in partnership with the British Council Ghana, hosted a farewell reception to honour the latest cohort of Chevening and Commonwealth Scholars from Ghana. The event, which gathered scholarship awardees, alumni, and key officials from the High Commission and British Council, was a testament to the enduring partnership between the UK and Ghana in fostering educational excellence and leadership development. Over the past 40 years, the Commonwealth Scholarship has funded the education of over 2,000 Ghanaians, while the Chevening Scholarship has supported more than 400 young people from Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso in the pursuit of world-class education. Many of these individuals have gone on to become pioneers in various sectors, ranging from governance to climate activism. The reception celebrated and formally recognised the outstanding feats of the individuals selected for the two prestigious scholarship awards.
