My Nonprofit Reviews

It is with utmost joy and gratitude that I write this review about a scholarship I consider to be a blessing to the lives of many needy and brilliant Ghanaian students. I am Marylyn Awuah Oduro, a first year Petrochemical Engineering student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).I was fortunate to join the wonderful Educational Pathways International (EPI) family the same year I gained admission to pursue this programme after successfully passing through the laid down selection process.
I had always wanted to be an Engineer since childhood. However being aware of the financial challenges facing my parents, I feared it might be of hindrance to my academic and career goals. l am aware of the massive financial and psychological support I need to achieve my goals thus I have always seek for the opportunity to be a scholar to further my studies to higher height. Fortunately, a developing country like Ghana have realised the numerous benefits of science and technology thus have embraced engineering.
It took a scholarship to see me through my senior high education. Due to financial issues, I had to stay home for a year after graduation. However, I applied and gained admission to the university the following year by the help of contributions and loans from family and friends. The joyful news of being given the opportunity to pursue Petrochemical Engineering at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) was indeed an unforgettable one. Thanks to the advertisement on the KNUST website, I got to know of Educational Pathways International (EPI) and what they stand for.
A nonprofit non-governmental organization (NGO) that seek to recognise, support and empower young people from needy families by providing them with full scholarships for the university education. In addition to this, frequent meetings are organized by EPI so as to equip beneficiaries with new ideas and skills to compliment what we acquire in class.
Considering my experience with EPI, I can boldly testify that it is a great family one is blessed to be a part of. This is because they do not only provide financial support but go the extra mile of offering advice, counsel and motivation thus shaping us for academic excellence and helping us achieve our career goals as well.
I believe with grace, hard work, determination and the support from EPI,I would be able to succeed in my academics and become a successful and responsible citizen to help the less privilege in the society and contribute towards national development.
My sincere and heartfelt appreciation goes to the executive body of EPI, other supporting bodies of this organization especially the benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Lafrance, the one of a kind couple who seeks to unearth the potential in brilliant and needy student. It is my prayer that the Almighty God bless them and make them progress in their good works thereby encourage other able bodies to do same for the progress our dear nation. Thank you EPI.
