The desire of Kelvin Asamoah, a brilliant Senior High School student, to achieve his dream of pursuing tertiary education is now facing uncertainty despite gaining admission to study at the University of Ghana.
The 19-year-old, who attended Asuom Senior High School, brought honour to his family after excelling in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

He has therefore been admitted to study for a Bachelor of Education in Social Studies at the nation’s premier university; however, the brilliant young man may lose his admission slot due to financial constraints
At the moment, his academic fees for the 2025/2026 academic year are GH¢2,319, of which he is required to pay a non-refundable commitment fee of 30% within seven days from the date of issuance of the admission letter.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Kelvin Asamoah said that raising the money to pay his fees has become a challenge because his mother, a single parent, was sick, a situation that has negatively affected their finances.
“My mum is a single parent. She fell sick, and by the time she recovered, her market stock had run down, so she is struggling to pay my school fees.”

Kelvin has therefore appealed to individuals, groups, and organisations to come to his aid and assist him financially through school so that his dream of attaining tertiary education does not go in vain.
