To increase awareness and assist students with the UCC Scholarship for Needy but Brilliant Students, the Students’ Financial Support Office organized a series of campus-wide engagement activities. These were aimed at ensuring that students, especially prospective applicants, understood the scholarship requirements, how to apply, and the mistakes to avoid.

Media Engagements

The outreach began with two radio interviews on ATL FM:

• Saturday, June 14, 2025: A student-focused segment introduced the scholarship, explained the support services offered by the Office, and provided a breakdown of eligibility criteria, necessary documents, and common applicant errors.

• Monday, June 16, 2025: A follow-up session on the ATL Morning Show allowed for deeper engagement. The team responded to student questions and expanded on application details.

These interviews were crucial in reaching a wider audience and giving students access to accurate, timely information.

Hall of Residence Engagements

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the Office extended its outreach to the various halls of residence. The aim was to interact directly with students in their living spaces, clarify the scholarship process, and provide one-on-one support.

Team members visited the following halls:

• Valco Hall – Visited by Ms. Esther Azzu (Chief Administrative Assistant)

• SRC Hall and Superannuation Hall – Visited by Mr. Andy Kwarteng (Senior Administrative Assistant)

• Atlantic Hall and Adehye Hall – Visited by Miss Queenster Kwakyewaa (NSS Personnel)

Each session featured a Q&A segment, hands-on support for ongoing applications, and a step-by-step walkthrough of the scholarship portal. The team also explained the selection and interview process and clarified which documents were required for a complete application.

Student concerns were addressed on-site, and guidance was provided to help improve the quality and accuracy of applications. These sessions helped bridge the information gap and brought direct support closer to students.
