Karpowership Ghana has presented a cheque of GH¢210,550 to support the tuition of 63 engineering students at Takoradi Technical University (TTU) for the 2026/2027 academic year, reaffirming its commitment to developing technical talent for Ghana’s industrial and energy sectors.
The support, provided under the company’s scholarship programme established in 2022, seeks to reduce financial barriers to higher education while equipping students with skills relevant to industry. The initiative has supported students across engineering disciplines and has recorded 78 graduates since its introduction.
“For us, this support goes beyond financial assistance. It represents an investment in the potential of young people, the development of local expertise and the future of Ghana’s engineering and energy sectors.”
Managing Director of Karpowership Ghana, Ing. Oscar Kojo Amonoo-Neizer
Presenting the cheque, Managing Director of Karpowership Ghana, Ing. Oscar Kojo Amonoo-Neizer, explained that the programme was designed to help students pursue engineering education while strengthening the pool of skilled professionals available to the country.
He disclosed that beneficiaries had traditionally studied Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering, with Petroleum Engineering added to the programme from the 2026/2027 academic year. The expansion broadens the disciplines covered by the scheme and extends its support to students pursuing another field relevant to Ghana’s technical and energy needs.
Amonoo-Neizer noted that the programme had supported 78 graduates since its establishment in 2022, reflecting the company’s continued investment in engineering education. The latest GH¢210,550 contribution will cover tuition support for 63 students during the current academic year.
Scholarship Investment in Ghana’s Industrial Future
Amonoo-Neizer emphasised that the initiative was intended to deliver benefits beyond immediate financial assistance. By helping students remain focused on their education, the company hopes to contribute to the development of local expertise and strengthen the country’s engineering and energy sectors.
The Managing Director also highlighted Karpowership Ghana’s efforts to encourage women to pursue engineering careers. He pointed to the company’s all-female internship programme, mentorship and capacity-building initiatives, which have reached more than 500 young women.
These interventions complement the scholarship scheme by creating opportunities for young people to develop technical knowledge and gain exposure to professional environments.
Amonoo-Neizer indicated that the company would continue strengthening its partnership with TTU, particularly through opportunities that connect classroom learning with practical industry experience.
TTU Commends Karpowership Ghana’s Support
The Pro Vice-Chancellor of TTU, Prof. Ebenezer Boakye, expressed appreciation to Karpowership Ghana for sustaining its support for engineering education. Drawing on his own experience as a scholarship beneficiary, he stressed that financial assistance could significantly influence a student’s educational journey and future professional prospects.
“If I hadn’t gotten a scholarship, I wouldn’t have been here. So, when I see an institution like Karpowership giving support to students like this, I doff my hat to them,”
Pro Vice-Chancellor of TTU, Prof. Ebenezer Boakye
Boakye’s remarks underscored the importance of scholarships in helping students overcome financial constraints and pursue their academic ambitions. He encouraged the beneficiaries to recognise the opportunity as both support for their education and an investment that required commitment in return.
Addressing the new scholars, he reminded them that receiving financial assistance came with a responsibility to demonstrate academic seriousness and make the most of the opportunity.
“To our 2026 scholars, you have won this scholarship, but you must work to merit it.”
Pro Vice-Chancellor of TTU, Prof. Ebenezer Boakye
The Pro Vice-Chancellor’s message placed responsibility on the students to match the assistance they received with dedication to their studies. The scholarship, he indicated, should motivate beneficiaries to work hard and demonstrate that the investment in their education was worthwhile.
Olivia Agyeman, the officer responsible for the TTU Scholarship Secretariat, also thanked Karpowership Ghana for sustaining the programme. Her appreciation highlighted the importance of continued collaboration between the university and industry partners in supporting students and strengthening technical education.
Mavis Leagbe, a former beneficiary, encouraged the students to remain committed to their studies. She urged them to demonstrate through their academic performance and conduct that the support had made a meaningful difference.
Industry Partnership Supports Engineering Education
The scholarship programme reflects cooperation between Karpowership Ghana and TTU to address financial barriers and promote the development of technical expertise. Its coverage of multiple engineering disciplines, alongside initiatives encouraging women’s participation, forms part of the company’s stated commitment to supporting young people.
With 63 students receiving tuition assistance for the 2026/2027 academic year, the programme will continue to provide educational support while strengthening the relationship between academic training and industry needs. The company has pledged to sustain its partnership with TTU and create further opportunities for students to connect their studies with practical experience.
The university’s leadership and former beneficiaries have urged the recipients to use the opportunity responsibly, maintain their commitment to learning and demonstrate the value of investing in Ghana’s future engineers.
