Without this great support from JEQ foundation I wouldn't be able to continue my studies due to financial difficulties my parents are facing.

It's been five years of enjoying the good benevolence of Joseph and Elizabeth Quansah Foundation Scholarship, and I have lived every single of the roughly 1500 days of my life in utmost gratitude to JEQ foundation.
From the dusty hills of Kojokrom, all the way to 5th year of medical school, I reminisce the immense contributions that this foundation has made in my life. Being the 7th of 10 children literally meant I wouldn't be able to get any share of tertiary education. The story completely changed when I was introduced to this foundation. Their financial, educational, psychological and mental support gave me the zeal and optimism to live my dreams. Without the JEQ foundation, I would still be hawking second hand clothes in Kojokrom. I am eternally grateful to Professor Joseph Quansah and Dr. Elizabeth Quansah for their unflinching support and parental guidance throughout my educational journey. I will reaffirm the fundamental pledge that through me, the name of the foundation will sky rocket beyond expectations. God bless the JEQ foundation forever.

All hopes seem lost. Dreams were imitating shatters. The family, in impoverishment, couldn't help but decipher as the once big dream of their son turn into irrevocable crumbles. Though my results were impressive, and excellent, I couldn't gain admission into Medical School. The supportive backbone was financially struck to the core. The kind gesture of one Mrs. Pearl Sam led to the my introduction to the JEQ foundation. I was beaming with contented smiles when I was messaged with an award of a scholarship by the benevolent foundation. And now, courtesy the JEQ foundation, I am now an MBCHB student of the prestigious University of Cape Coast. And I hope to willingly give back to society when I graduate as a doctor.God Bless You JEQ foundation.

From the dense, isolated, lowly hills of Kojokrom dwelt a futuristic young 18 year old lad who could only look into the skies and slump into sleep only dreaming of becoming a member of the Noble profession. This, without any doubt, is my story. The story of Daniel Kwame Walker, until I got introduced to the Joseph and Elizabeth Quansah foundation by a very good Samaritan, Mrs. Pearl Sam; of whom I am forever indebted to. The JEQ foundation, regardless of any ethnic, tribalistic or any other sentiments, embraced me and promised to push me to bring life into my dying dreams. The full scholarship coupled with the provision of a brand new laptop and periodic academic sessions has been the defining moment of my young life. At this stage, being a 4th year medical student of the prestigious University of Cape Coast, I owe everything and all to the JEQ foundation. This is straight from the core of my heart. It would have been a herculean task for my father, who earns a meagre sum of money as a farmer and my mother, a common seamstress to finance my education to medical school. In fact, they were opting that I found a handiwork doing since it would be all impossible for me to pursue my dreams. But for the intervention of the JEQ, I would be wandering the streets of Sekondi - Takoradi and its environs still trying to load of the bale of clothes heaped in a rickety clamoring basin, balanced mercilessly on my fatigued neck. The story after the JEQ came to my aid is the beginning of my life: I owe the Foundation all that is due. I am highly appreciative for their immense help in shaping my educational, neo - professional, moral and in every aspect of my life. God bless Prof. Joseph Quansah and Dr. Elizabeth Quansah and the rest of the team. God bless JEQ foundation and all her scholars.

I met Elizabeth Quansah several years ago through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Auburn University program. She is the director for the university's global outreach program and also teaches classes for OLLI students. Elizabeth's positive personality and her joy in giving back to the community is what made me keep signing up for her classes. When Elizabeth, and her husband Joseph, started their foundation in 2019 I was happy to contribute to their cause. I believe that everyone should have access to higher education so they can follow their dreams. This year I was asked to be the volunteer Board secretary for the foundation and I was delighted to accept. The Joseph & Elizabeth Quansah Foundation works hard to raise money to help excellent but needy students in Ghana to continue their education. I have now had the opportunity to meet with the other volunteers on the JEQ Board and every one of them is dedicated to growing the foundation and helping as many students as possible achieve their goals. All of the donations the foundation receives goes to the eligible students for tuition, housing and even laptops, if needed. I am proud to be a part of this organization.

JEQ Foundation goes the extra mile to carefully identify intelligent but needy students, not only to make their higher education come true through their scholarship and other assistance programs, but they also mentor their scholars and prepare them for successful professional life. Their funding support which is completely free has changed the trajectory of the lives of recipients, who are only required to be kind and pay it forward in future to support other smart but needy students. This is awesome!!

The JEQ Foundation scholarships to needy but brilliant students in Ghana has been life transforming. Currently the foundation funds students in tertiary educational institutions in Ghana covering tuition, accommodation fees and learning aids like laptops and scientific calculators. This has kept at risk students in school and offered the opportunity for several students who had no hope of pursuing further education after high school a chance to have a bright future. More importantly, the JEQ foundation provides an all round academic and emotional support to beneficiaries through academic advisors from the tertiary institutions where the beneficiary is enrolled. This has doubled the chances of beneficiaries by affording them the needed mentorship to succeed academically and in life. This foundation is serious about making a difference and the early results from their funding and support activities is worthy of praise and support.

There are varied opportunities that come to us from the day we are born till we die.we only become handicap to life if we do not persevere. I grew up in an environment where education isn’t a priority to the natives.I had a hard time schooling since there was no form of motivation apart from been motivated intrinsically and also there was little financial assistance on the side of my parents . I also tried to be independent by working to support my schooling . There was a radical change when the Joseph and Elizabeth Quansah foundation team decided to fund my university education .They catered for both my tuition and accommodation and offered various counseling sections to help me psychologically also.Their zeal to help needed but brilliant students is unseen thus very amazing.A great thanks to foundation for their support and dedication towards helping to make me a better person in the near future.My name is Thomas Benson . A second year student in the University of CapeCoast (Ghana) offering a bachelors degree program in science education with a chemistry major and a biology minor. Am highly grateful to the foundation for their support and to everyone who donated to making my dream a reality

JEQ Foundation provides need-based scholarships to excellent needy College students in Ghana, West Africa. Their mission is to provide need-based college scholarships to students who have achieved academic excellence in Ghana, West Africa.

Imagine having the ability to succeed in an academic field, but not having the financial support to enter or complete college. The goal of the Joseph & Elizabeth Quansah (JEQ) Foundation is to reach as many deserving students in Ghana as we can, to help them on their path to higher education and realize their potential.

​Many students in Ghana have the intelligence and resilience to succeed in their studies and become doctors, teachers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and so forth. But their families cannot afford the tuition and are unable to borrow from private lenders or the government.

College & University Cost in Ghana
Application fee - $50 - $50

Tuition - $500-$1,500 per year

Housing - $400-$700 per year

Laptop - $500

While their families in Ghana cannot meet these education costs, many U.S. donors can. Your tax-deductible contributions can help lift these bright young minds and their families out of poverty.

Joseph & Elizabeth Quansah Foundation is impacting the needy by excellent college students' lives in Ghana. Please join and donate here: https://www.jequansahfoundation.org/
