Kingdom Books and Stationary (KBS), has announced its 2012/2013 scholarship award to KNUST. KBS has decided to support fifty (50) brilliant but needy students of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). The package comprises two hundred and fifty Ghana cedis in cash and two hundred and eleven Ghana cedis worth of books for each student.
The award was presented by Mr. Dennis Obeng, the Branch Manager of KBS, KNUST campus ably supported by Miss Edwina Obeng, the Assistant Branch Manager.
The Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, Prof. W. O. Ellis, accepted the award on behalf of the University and expressed his profound gratitude to KBS for its generous contribution. He emphasised this by saying that KBS was a friend to KNUST and that the University would always be open to new ideas from the Company.
Mr. Dennis Obeng noted that the donation was part of the Company’s Scholarship programme which seeks to always assist students who are both financially and resource deprived. He therefore thanked officials of the University for allowing KBS to be a part of the lives of the students for the past five years. Mr. Ralph Nyardu – Addo, head of the Business Centre, also suggested that there should be a platform for needy students to take up part-time jobs that could at least earn them something.
The Vice – Chancellor thanked the delegation and urged them to continue with the good work of partnering KNUST, a brand name which he said would help KBS to go far.
