Following five rejections from various scholarship organizations, Favour Peters finally made history as the top student in her program at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
She won the College of Health Sciences Excellence Award for Best Innovative Student in the School of Public Health.
She faced obstacles due to her finances on the way to reaching the milestone, but she persevered.
“After completing my senior high school education, I applied for five different scholarships and was rejected by all of them. I had to stay back one year to work menial jobs at 16 to help my parents raise enough money to cover my tuition and accommodation fees,” she stated
When Peters enrolled in KNUST as a first-generation student at the age of 17 she didn’t let the fact that she was without a scholarship deter her from achieving her goals.
“I had set for myself and making the most of my four-year journey. My parents encouraged me to be relentless and never lose hope.”
She was chosen for the Empowering Africa Inc. 100% Tuition Scholarship during her second year, and the Director of Student Affairs office paid for her accomodations.
