Kuntu Nkosohen Scholar Program
Free public education in Ghana ends at
Junior High School (JHS). Kuntu JHS opened
in 2002 and when the first class
graduated in 2005, 6 students passed the government Basic Education Certificate
Exam (BECE) to attend senior high school
(SHS). However, few Kuntu students go to SHS because SHS fees could
exceed $450 per year which is more than Kuntu parents can afford. KVNC-USA
paid the school fees for these 6 students to attend SHS. The next year, an
organization of professional African American women, the Bucks County chapter of
Links, Inc., paid the SHS fees for 7 successful 2006 Kuntu JHS graduates.
In 2007 the Kuntu Nkosohen Scholar program was formally initiated to provide
full SHS
scholarships for all Kuntu JHS students that pass the BECE (Note. KVNC-USA does not
make the selection of Nkosohen scholars). KVNC-USA, with
the support of many sponsors, now provides full SHS scholarships to all
successful Kuntu JHS graduates. The Nkosohen scholar
program provides hope for Kuntu JHS students and motivates them to work harder to pass the BECE.
To insure that all student fees are paid, KVNC-USA pays the SHS student
fees at the beginning of each school term (SHS school year is divided into 3
terms) and seeks sponsors to make a tax-deductible donation to
KVNC-USA for the full year SHS fees. WE NEED
MORE HELP. MORE INDIVIDUALS
AND ORGANIZATIONS ARE
NEEDED TO SPONSOR NKOSOHEN SCHOLARS TO ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND.

info@ghanavillage.org for more
information.
As of September 2011,
nineteen (19) Kuntu students have graduated high school
(click) with the help of KVNC-USA and thirty-two (32) scholars
(below) will enroll in SHS with all
school fees paid.
