My Nonprofit Reviews

I am Gabriel Appiah, a final year student of the University of Ghana Business School, pursuing Bachelor of Science in Administration and majoring in Accounting. I have been a beneficiary of the Educational Pathways International (EPI) scholarship programme since 2017, my first year. I emerged as one of the privileged students to be selected for the scholarship at the University of Ghana for the 2017/2018 academic year after going through a rigorous application and interview processes.

Competing for the scholarship and being enrolled in it have been a great life-changing opportunities in my life. Before joining the scholarship program, I was a very worried teenager who did not know how his tertiary education would be financed. Though I was good at writing essays, applying for the scholarship made me better at it, and the interview was my first ever, giving me the first ever experience of how interviews are done, and this experience has been great for me. Upon enrollment in the scholarship, the thrice per semester family meetings held over the years have also impacted my life academically, professionally and personally through the treatment of topics like thinking, time management, CV writing, report writing, entrepreneurship and essay writing. The yearly luncheon event brings together the wonderful members of the University of Ghana Educational Pathways International family and our amazing benefactors come all the way from the US just to see us and commune with us on a personal level. This shows how amazing Educational Pathways International is; they are not only giving away their money but they also care about the people to whom their money is given. An Amazing family!

Encountering Educational Pathways International scholarship has also been a super amazing and financial transforming event in my life. My financial background has been weak to the extent that my high school education was financed by a scholarship, and over the years, the financial status of my family had not improved. I really needed a scholarship to the extent that I spent two years searching for one until I found Educational Pathways International scholarship. Over the three years I have been a beneficiary of this scholarship, there has been no moment I had to worry about books, food and any other expenses while I am on campus. I have enjoyed a relatively sound mind to pursue my academics when it comes to finances. My family has also benefited from this scholarship, as I do not trouble them with money issues, so my parents can focus on finding money to support my siblings' education. I have also been in the position to support sometimes, thanks to Educational Pathways International.

The 3.0 GPA per semester minimum requirement of the scholarship has kept me up in my academics, and now I can proudly boast of a CGPA of 3.82 as at the beginning of my final year and I hope to improve it to a FGPA of 3.9+. The compulsory internship or volunteering requirement of the scholarship has also prepared me for the world of work by improving my people skills and increasing my network.

My academic goals are to graduate with a first class, pursue MBA with Accounting specialization in one of the top business schools in North America, and to pursue a PhD in Accounting. In addition, my career goals are to become a world class professional Accountant, a member of ACCA, a Professor, a Financial Consultant, and an Entrepreneur. It is my dream to help develop my community and beloved country, Ghana, by establishing businesses in my community and around the country to help train and employ the youth in Ghana. It is also my dream to help make Ghana the industrial hub of Africa. Educational Pathways International has given me a boost in achieving all these.

I am really grateful to everyone at Educational Pathways International whose effort, directly or indirectly, has contributed to making my dreams come true. Educational Pathways International is truly the best Nonprofit Organization ever!

My name is Gabriel Appiah. I am a third 3rd year student of the University of Ghana Business School, offering Bachelor of Science in Administration (Accounting option), and I am a beneficiary of the Educational Pathways International (EPI) scholarship.

I have been a beneficiary of the Educational Pathways International scholarship for three (3) years now, from my first year when I was admitted into the University of Ghana. Educational Pathways International scholarship has been a lifesaving program to me. As a student from a weak financial background, my tertiary education would have been a nightmare if I had not met Educational Pathways International scholarship program.

EPI has provided me with yearly comprehensive scholarship through and enormous financial support which covers the yearly payment of my school fees, residential fees, books and an appreciable yearly stipend for up keeping. EPI has also helped me acquire additional knowledge on Time Management, Thinking, Entrepreneurship, CV Writing, Report Writing among others through the monthly family meetings organised by the Program Director of the scholarship. I have learnt how to network as the program brings together beneficiaries from all part of the country as a big family.

The mandatory internship or volunteering requirement of the scholarship has enabled me to gain corporate experiences through the internship and volunteering program I took during the past two (2) summer vacations.

I appreciate the work of the entire Educational Pathways International team who work relentlessly to provide financial and educational support to people of weak financial backgrounds to have a sound and privileged tertiary education. Educational Pathways International is indeed the best non-profit organisation in the world.

Long live Educational Pathways International!

I am Gabriel Appiah, a second year beneficiary of Educational Pathways International (EPI) Scholarship from the University of Ghana Business School, reading Bachelor of Science in Administration.
I joined the Educational Pathways International scholarship programme in October 2017, and it has been a blessing unto me and my family. Being from a financially weak family, I had difficulty in financing my tertiary education, which kept me worried after my high school education. Thanks to Educational Pathways International (EPI) for giving people like me the chance to pursue our academic and career goals without any financial impediment.
The Educational Pathways International scholarship is a full scholarship that covers my academic and residential fees, books and a stipend which is able to cover all my expenses including feeding. The programme also has provided me with the opportunity to intern with companies of my choice, which has really given me practical experience on the job market as well as networking opportunities. I have been enlightened on various topics including Entrepreneurship, Effective Thinking, and Public Speaking among topics through the monthly family meetings. The programme has also linked me with other beneficiaries of the scholarship programme offering different programmes in the University of Ghana. Aside these benefits, I have been privileged to meet my benefactors, who take the pain to travel all the way to Ghana to visit the family in every October to see how we are progressing in our education, as well as to motivate us to do better. Such a great privilege!
I hereby recommend Educational Pathways International as one of the best non-governmental organisation in the world. The organisation is really making impact in the lives of gifted university students like me in Ghana. Students whose dreams would have been shattered if Educational Pathways International had not come their way. People who may have dropped out of school.
Long live Educational Pathways international.

I am Gabriel Appiah, a level 100 student of the University of Ghana reading Bachelor of Science in Administration degree programme. The Educational Pathways International Scholarship has been and is still of great benefit to me.

As I enrolled in the university of Ghana, one of the biggest challenges to my family and myself was finance: how I was going to finance my tertiary education. I had to depend on the meagre incomes of my parents, which had other purposes to serve. When I heard of the Educational Pathways International Scholarship, I did not hesitate to apply, and indeed, it is one in a million! My parents can now channel their incomes to my siblings' education.

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Lafrance and the entire team of Educational Pathways International for making it possible to pursue my educational and career goals. My goals of graduating with a first class degree in Bsc Administration and pursuing a Master's degree in Business Administration and also becoming the best entrepreneur of my era can now be realised. The Educational Pathways International scholarship has also released me from the financial threats to my education; I can peacefully study with a clear mind. I am also challenged to achieve greater grades and career experience as the scholarship demands a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and company sponsored internships.

Educational Pathways International is the best nonprofit organisation in the whole world!

Long live Educational Pathways International,
Long live Educational Pathways International Scholarship.
