would though have the requisite passes but would not survive the competetion for entry into programmes of KNUST. The sheer numbers of applications received for the past two years since the Program began draws our attention as an institution to the shouting need to seek more partnerships with corporate institutions and foundations to meet the genuine requests for assistance created by social and economic inequities. Our Scholars have demonstrated that there is a strong positive correlation between adequate student and administrative support and excellent academic performance; often for the student with a sense of purpose. The African continent today faces a challenge of a people losing their humanity to the quest for quick fixes for everything. The value of compassion is rare. Even rarer is the quintessential sense of ethics and selfless dedication to dare the status quo. This process of change must first begin with self; a transformed individual will stand the inevitable test of degeneration into decadence. This is the bedrock the Scholars Program at KNUST seeks to lay for its Scholars. KNUST is grateful to the MasterCard Foundation for this opportunity to lead the charge to raise this critical mass of global leaders. Congratulations to all Scholars!
