Lebanese Community awards scholarships to eight Ghana School of Law students
The scholarships cover the 2025/2026 academic year and form part of the Lebanese Community’s support for legal education in Ghana.
Eight students of the Ghana School of Law have received scholarships from the Lebanese Community in Ghana under its long-running scholarship programme.
The awards were presented at a ceremony held at the Embassy of Lebanon on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
The scholarships cover the 2025/2026 academic year and form part of the Lebanese Community’s support for legal education in Ghana.
Lebanese Ambassador to Ghana, Fouad Khazzaka, said the initiative reflects Lebanon’s long-standing commitment to education, culture and learning.
“This educational initiative reflects Lebanon’s historic vocation as a land of culture, knowledge and learning,” he said.
Ambassador Khazzaka, who is also a lawyer, said education remains central to the pursuit of justice and peace.
He told the beneficiaries that the legal profession carries a major responsibility in society.
“Law serves as a safeguard of justice, liberty and peace,” he said.
“As a legal professional myself, I am particularly pleased to support young people in this important profession.”
He urged the students to approach their studies with diligence, integrity and determination.
According to him, their legal education would prepare them to serve Ghana as future lawyers, judges and legal scholars.
“Your education will prepare you to become the lawyers, judges and legal scholars upon whom Ghana’s future will depend,” he said.
He also commended the Ghana School of Law for training professionals who have contributed to Ghana’s democratic development.
Four of the beneficiaries are Part I students.
They are Richard Adjei Kyeremateng, Stephen Menya-Amoako, Esther Josephine Boateng Agyenim and Esther Dzifa Dogbe.
The four Part II beneficiaries are Maame Ekua Otenewa Oduro, Dion Akosua Kassim, Emenyo Afi Nutakor and Keren Sackey.
Receiving the awards on behalf of the School, the Acting Director of People, Talent and Culture, Mrs Louisa Condobery-Asamoah, thanked the Lebanese Community for its continuous investment in education.
She said the support would contribute to the long-term growth of Ghana’s legal profession by helping more students complete their training.
Mrs Condobery-Asamoah welcomed the expansion of the programme and encouraged the Community to extend support to more students in future.
The Lebanese Community Scholarship Programme began in 2012.
Since then, it has supported more than 600 students through scholarships, prizes and other academic assistance.
The programme has benefited students from the Ghana School of Law and other Ghanaian universities in fields including law, journalism, film, languages and the performing arts.
In 2024, the Lebanese Community also launched an alumni network to extend the programme’s impact through further humanitarian work.
Ambassador Khazzaka called for deeper cultural and educational exchanges between Ghana and Lebanon.
For the eight beneficiaries, the latest awards mark another step in their legal education and in the continuing partnership between the Lebanese Community and Ghana’s educational institutions.
