My Nonprofit Reviews

My name is Hassan Ishao, a final year student of University of Ghana reading Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Accounting). I am a beneficiary of Educational Pathways International (EPI).
Educational Pathways International is the best thing that has happened in my life. EPI identifies needy and gifted students from families all over Ghana and support their education. University education is the most expensive part of education, so when I had admission I was wondering where I was going to get funding from then came an intervention of EPI. When EPI picked me four years ago as a beneficiary of their scholarship, all the despair vanished, I was filled with hope, dreams, goals of the future.
EPI did not only pay my school fees, accommodation fees and money for books and upkeep but they comprehensively helped develop my life. With EPI I had the opportunity of having many internships in different organizations, guidance and counseling sessions which helped develop my career, leadership and academic goals. My dreams of becoming an Accountant is a reality because of EPI.
I am forever grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Lafrance, Auntie Eunice for their generous and wonderful work and support. Kudos to all of you and may the good Lord bless you.

My name is Hassan Ishao, a third year student of the University of Ghana reading Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Accounting major. I am from Navrongo in the Upper East Region of Ghana.
Being the best scholarship program in the University of Ghana in transforming the lives of needy but brilliant students whom the lives of families, communities, and the country’s hope depend on, Educational Pathways International has achieved its goals. I was selected for the scholarship program after applying and going through a number of interviews.
Being a beneficiary of this scholarship for the past three years is a life changer and blessing to me. Being the first member of my family to come to the University would have been a nightmare. Not only have my fees been paid over the past three years but also my accommodation was paid as well as money to buy books and for my upkeep. Three years as a beneficiary of Educational Pathways International has made tertiary education less stressful and gave me the peace of mind to concentrate on my studies.
Aside paying for our school fees, accommodation and our upkeep, Educational Pathways International always has a coordinator and an office where we meet periodically for guidance counseling concerning our educational and social welfare. This has helped me a lot in terms of social and educational life.
Educational Pathways International also inculcates the spirit of giving back to society in us through internships we do during our vacation periods at home. Not only do we give back but also this helps us develop our educational and professional career.

I am a second year student of University of Ghana and have been a beneficiary of the Educational Pathways International (EPI) scholarship program. From the family I come from, I thought tertiary education was only meant for the rich in our society and then came the timely intervention of this charitable organization to prove me wrong, that is Educational Pathways International. They inspired and motivated me to work realizing success is non-dependent on your financial background.
Being part of this reputable family, I feel honored and blessed. Not only has it made education smooth and interesting to me. It has also help build my life through meetings and interactions with other beneficiaries and most importantly lessons learnt from guidance and counseling sessions with respect to my social and educational welfare. This has helped me concentrate and perform well in the University. Again inculcated in me is the spirit of togetherness and helping others become successful as one succeeds in life.
Because of EPI, I have acquired some practical skills through internship programs we are supposed to engage in during vacations which I think would improve my curriculum vitae and prepare me for the job market.
Without EPI, tertiary education would have been the last thing to think of for me, for this I would like to say kudos to EPI for its priceless works, transformation of lives and putting smiles on the faces on needy but brilliant students in Africa, Ghana to be precise.
