285 Students’ Dreams Dashed: GNPC Scholarship Applications Terminated

A significant number of students who applied for the  Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Foundation Scholarship for the 2023/2024 academic year have had their applications terminated.

The news has left 285 hopeful students and their families in a state of uncertainty and disappointment.

According to an official communique from the GNPC Foundation, the decision to terminate the applications was made, but the reasons behind it have not been fully disclosed.

The foundation had earlier announced the commencement of bursary disbursement to selected scholars, who are currently pursuing their studies abroad.

The terminated applicants had high hopes of benefiting from the GNPC Scholarship Program, which is a prestigious award that provides financial support to deserving students.

The program is designed to support students in their academic pursuits, enabling them to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to the development of the country.

The sudden termination of the applications has raised questions about the selection process and the criteria used to determine the successful applicants. Many students and their families are left wondering what went wrong and what they can do to appeal the decision.

The GNPC Foundation has not provided a clear explanation for the termination, leaving many students and stakeholders seeking answers. The lack of transparency and communication has added to the frustration and disappointment of the affected students.

As the students and their families navigate this uncertain situation, many are calling on the GNPC Foundation to provide clarity on the reasons behind the termination and to offer support to those who were affected. The incident has highlighted the need for transparency and accountability in the administration of scholarship programs, particularly those funded by public resources.

It remains to be seen how the GNPC Foundation will respond to the concerns of the terminated applicants and whether they will provide an opportunity for the students to appeal the decision.

For now, the 285 students and their families can only hope that the foundation will reconsider its decision and provide the necessary support to enable them to pursue their academic dreams.
