HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM IN GHANA

Annually in June a group of volunteer EPI scholarship recipients travel to rural Akim Asafo Senior High School for their summer internship to provide a two week teaching and mentorship experience for the students. The EPI volunteers reside in the local area and provide Asafo students with a structured program of intensive tutoring, career counseling, and support in other areas of personal growth and development.

Although EPI’s efforts are concentrated predominantly in Ghana, in 2007 the organization established a domestic component to its program to support a select number of National Merit and Presidential Scholars enrolled in engineering and computer science disciplines at the University of Nevada, Reno. Students selected are from less economic means, of a minority, or are the first in their family to attend university.

These scholars are students who receive the highest scores nationwide in the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and have other academic and personal achievement that provide them with distinction.
