Eight final year students at the Ghana School of Law, Makola, have been awarded scholarhips by the Lebanese community in the country for the 2023/2024 academic year.

This year’s event was held at the premises of the Lebanese Embassy where Ambassador, Maher Kheir, received the delegation from the Ghana School of Law.
In his address, Maher Kheir acknowledged the hardwork of receipients saying, “This event marks a pivotal milestone in the academic journey of our scholarship recipients, recognizing their hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence.”
He extended heartfelt congratulations to all the scholarship awardees noting that, “your achievements are a testament to your perseverance, intellectual curiosity, and passion for the field of law.”
Ambassador Kheir urged the beneficiaries to uphold the ethics of the legal profession to surmount challenges that characterize the field.
He also challenged the beneficiaries to advocate for the vulnerable in society and fight for the cause of the weak.
“Use the knowledge and skills you have gained to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves, to fight for justice in the face of adversity, and to make a positive impact on the world around you,” he noted.
Students Affairs Officer at the Ghana School of Law, Dr. Georgina Ahorbo, lauded the Ambassador and Lebanese Community for the gesture especially their consistency in sponsoring students from the institution.
The scholarship, she noted, will cushion the students and their families while giving them the space to adequately concentrate on their studies.
