Results of 2008 MFSI Scholarships

Members of the Mankon Forum scholarship Initiative (MFSI) and its board of directors are today presented the list of Scholarship Recipients for the 2008 application season. As a recap, MFSI offers TEN (10) scholarships with each class.  The scholarship covers tuition, essential textbooks and part uniforms depending on the availability of funds. 50.000 FCFA is estimated for each student a year. The goal is to sponsor recipients in government secondary grammar schools until the GCE O-levels contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and keeping up with eligibility criteria.

Scholarship renewal is on a yearly basis and would depend on the following conditions:

1) Continuous performance in the top 20 percent of class yearly.

2) Documented community involvement (e.g. planning student activities, or quarter involvement initiatives).

3) Show leadership qualities (e.g. be part of a community health awareness team, organize third term holiday events, be a leader in MASA).

4) Maintenance of highest moral standards and stay enrolled at GHS Mankon.

This year, we had FOURTEEN (14) Primary schools in Mankon participate with a total of 101 applicants. The selection process was both interesting but also compelling as we witnessed the finest level of competition. It is our greatest hope that these respective individuals continue to perform at their best. And translate their recognition into pride and success.

We would like to take a moment and recognize our HONOR ROLL. MFSI is proud to announce that CBC MANKON was the most competitive institution in this year’s applicant pool. This is a clear reflection of the quality of pupils and lecturers at CBC Mankon. While we congratulate you, we urge CBC to keep up with their brilliance and excellence. Ladies and Gentlemen, though our list is in no particular order, we are pleased to introduce our OVERALL best 2008 applicant. He showed Brilliance, excelling where fellow mates faltered while tackling Financial constraints. His common entrance performance was Stellar, very consistent with his class performances. The best OVERALL PUPIL was produced by CS Alamatu and that is no other person than Mr. NDEH IVO FORBANJONG. We congratulate and salute you Mr IVO and call on you to take and maintain your place at the HIGH TABLE. Unfortunately, Ivo will not be part of our scholarship group. He is heading to Sacred Heart College Mankon. This however indicates the high level of competition we face in recruiting our recipients. However, we hope you maintain your consistency as we do not plan to loose and eyeball on you.
