Six law students-three apiece from the University of Ghana, Legon and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have received scholarship from the Lebanese Community in Ghana.
And in a brief cheque presentation ceremony at the Lebanese Embassy in Accra today, HE Maher Kheir mentioned that the gesture was to support the beneficiaries go the extra mile in their academic pursuit, taking into account the cost involved in legal education.
The Lebanese ambassador said “Our scholarships will not be stopped, but rather reinforced to support many more Ghanaian students. We, the Lebanese people, believe that education is fundamental to any successful life.
“This is why we have expanded our scholarship programme to include students in the School of Languages and the School of Performing Arts at the University of Ghana.
“Under this new scheme, we will give prizes to the best students in each faculty. In addition, we will offer a grant to one PhD student at the School of Languages to deepen the cultural awareness between our two countries. We are hopeful that more of such programmes will be rolled out in the coming near future.”
He added “To my dear students, you are the army of the just life and the fair future we all desire. You have all the time to make this future in this life more beautiful and better.

Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwasi Prempeh-Eck, thanked the Lebanese Community for the gesture on behalf of the students saying, “We are most grateful for this gesture, it will go a long way in supporting them considering the fact that legal education is expensive. I am sure they will forever remember this investment.”
