Joseph Amoah Twum, the son of a poor cocoa farmer, has received a scholarship to study Economics at a university outside of Ghana.
The adolescent was the first in the Eastern Region to get 8As at Bepong Senior High School, where he graduated as a General Arts student in the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Twum’s ambition to study Economics at university was nearly dashed due to financial restrictions. However, thanks to Ghanaian brand ambassador Kwahu Ambassador, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
In a recent video, Twum disclosed he’d gained admission into a university outside the country to pursue an Economics degree
“There was no hope for me before I gained admission into UCC. That’s why I returned to the village to work with my father after senior high school.
“It’s only by God’s grace that I have come this far,” he told Kwahu Ambassador at the Kotoka International Aiport while awaiting his departure time to jet off.
After his video about his recent accomplishment emerged online, people expressed excitement for Twum.
