Scholarship Secretariat boss rescues brilliant but needy SHS graduate

-

The Registrar of the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat, Alexander Kwaku Asafo Agyei, has reached out to assist Senior High School (SHS) graduate Dorcas Baafi, whose dreams of pursuing higher education were nearly dashed.

Dorcas recorded outstanding results in the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) but lacked the financial support to continue to university.

The former student of Oguaa Senior High Technical School (SHTS) produced an impressive academic record, scoring 6As and 2Bs across various subjects.

Her story was brought to public attention by Facebook user Danny Kojo Mint, who shared her results and appealed for support.

After news of her academic excellence went viral, her aspirations were revived when Mr. Agyei expressed interest in meeting her.

Following a successful meeting on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, hopes are high that Dorcas will be enrolled on the government’s scholarship programme to put her dreams back on track.

Mr. Agyei stated that the Secretariat was pleased to offer her the opportunity to pursue higher education and contribute to the nation’s human resource development.
