Nana Opoku Ware’s (M) administration has achieved a significant milestone
The President of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) at the Ghana School of Law, Nana Opoku Ware, has donated GH₵50,000 to the school’s Financial Aid Fund to support students pursuing legal education.
The donation follows the recent launch of the “GSL-SRC Scholarship Scheme ’26,” an initiative aimed at easing the financial burden on some students of the school.
Beyond his personal contribution, Nana Opoku Ware’s administration has achieved a significant milestone with the historic inclusion of law students in the Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), thereby expanding access to financial assistance.
By combining systemic reform with direct financial support, the SRC President is helping to create a robust safety net that broadens the reach of financial aid and ensures that students without adequate financial resources are not left behind in their pursuit of legal education in Ghana.
“The law should not be a luxury for the wealthy, but a calling for the brilliant. This unprecedented contribution is a direct call to action for other resourceful students and stakeholders to invest in the future of the legal profession,” Nana Opoku Ware said.
He noted that the donation would serve as an alternative avenue for students to access financial assistance if they are unsuccessful in securing support from the Student Loan Trust Fund or other scholarship schemes.
“By bridging the gap for those whose applications were not successfully processed by the SLTF, the donation ensures that financial hardship does not silence the voices of the most brilliant aspiring lawyers,” he added.
The benevolence reinforces a lifelong commitment to philanthropy, which began during his college years when he paid the fees of some colleagues and supported borehole projects in Ejisu.
In March 2024, Nana Opoku Ware demonstrated similar generosity and compassion towards his fellow students at KNUST when he paid the school fees of 27 needy students.
