The Francis Faki Amanquah Foundation (FFAF), an international non-governmental organisation (NGO), has awarded scholarships to six students from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), studying Computer Science and Computer Engineering.
The latest scholarship presentation, held last Friday at KNUST, marks the second time the Foundation has extended such support, following a similar initiative last year that benefited five female students from the university.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Mrs Mercy Bruce- Amanquah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FFAF, reiterated the Foundation's commitment to increasing access to careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) for Ghanaian women. "We are here today to present scholarship awards covering tuition, accommodation, stipends, and laptops to six deserving young women studying Computer Science and Computer Engineering.
This initiative is aimed at encouraging them to pursue careers that will enable them to make a global impact with their skills," she stated.
