My Nonprofit Reviews

I am Eunice Aprim, a final year student of the University of Ghana, reading a Bachelor of Science degree in Administration and majoring Accounting.
Educational Pathways International (EPI) has been of a great value and advantage in my academics. I applied for the program when I realized the need to obtain some form of financial support in my tertiary education. After two interviews, I was given the opportunity to join the scholarship program and the rest was history.
Initially I thought the program was to only provide financial support but I soon realized that it was more than I actually thought. They also engaged the beneficiaries in periodic meetings which enabled us to learn some lessons on time management, goal setting and other topics which were essential to us as students and individuals. The meetings also served as a means of ensuring that we bonded well with the other beneficiaries and the Coordinator as well. Such meetings gave us the platform to express any form of recommendation or grievance that we faced as students to our Coordinator
One thing that I am impressed about this family is that, they take a keen interest in the academics of every student on the program. Although it is a requirement to do well academically to renew ones scholarship annually, they see to it that we are actually learning. Any concerns we have in our studies are addressed as much as possible, even to the extent of arranging and paying for extra tuition for students on probation if need be. The periodic meetings also serves as a platform for the Coordinator to encourage us to study and be the best that we can become.
Another requirement to remain on this program was to engage in internships or community services when school is on break in summer. Although this was a requirement, they did not leave us to the mercy of searching for an Organization by ourselves but ensured that we had Organizations to work with and they even send applications on our behalves just to ensure that we did our internships. At the end of every internship we were made to write a report, which is an essential skill that we learnt and will forever cherish.
Personally, EPI has really lived up to my expectations over these past three and half years of being in school. I have the privilege to be supported financially throughout my time in the university. I already had the zeal to learn but EPI gave me an extra motive to learn. Now I that I am almost through with my degree, I have learnt to focus on the most important things that I have to achieve and work towards, for this period of my life it is making the best out the opportunity given to me to learn without any financial burden. Also, I have made a lot of friends, and learnt a lot of skills through our periodic meetings, which I believe are very beneficial.
I will like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. and Mrs. Lafrance, my former and current coordinators, the Students and Financial Aid Office of this university and Educational Pathways International (EPI) as a whole for supporting me both financially and non - financially to make my dream a reality.
God bless EPI and I recommend her for an award for her great sacrifices and support to the numerous youth in Ghana. Thank you.
