Full scholarships granted to children of helicopter crash victims
The children of the eight victims of the August 6 helicopter crash have been awarded full scholarships.
The announcement was made during a formal ceremony at the Office of the Chief of Staff, where Julius Debrah received the scholarship offer on behalf of the families.
The initiative is a collaboration between B5 Plus Group and DPS International School.
Under the programme, two children from each bereaved family will receive full scholarships to attend DPS International School in Tema. The package covers the entire cost of education from the basic level through to A-Levels, including tuition fees, uniforms, and boarding facilities where necessary.
Chief of Staff Julius Debrah commended the initiative as a strong example of private sector commitment to nation-building and social responsibility.
Presidential Advisor on Legal Affairs and former Attorney-General, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, also praised the initiative.
She highlighted the long-term benefits of investing in the education of the affected children and commended DPS International for its excellent academic reputation.
She mentioned one of the school’s notable alumni, Oheneba Kwame Kyeretwie, son of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who is currently studying Astronomy at Wesleyan University in the United States.
According to her, the initiative will be warmly received by the President, as it serves as a meaningful tribute to the lives lost.
