However, the joy was short-lived when she realised the daunting financial hurdles ahead.

Pearl, an old student of the Agogo State College, excelled in her WASSCE exams. After the West African Examination Council (WAEC) released her results, she scored 4As and 4Bs.

Due to her stellar performance in the WASSCE, she's been offered admission to the University of Ghana College of Humanities to pursue a Bachelor of Arts. Still, she might lose this opportunity if she does not fulfil her financial obligations.

Pearl is expected to pay her tuition fees of GH¢2,319.00 by January 18, 2024, but all efforts to raise such an amount have proven futile.

The young lady comes from a humble background. Her parents are not financially sound, so they have not been able to raise the needed funds.

She is, therefore, seeking support from the general public to help her pay the amount to enrol at the university. Pearl can be reached at 0554162279.

Pearl speaks about her aspirations

Speaking exclusively with YEN.com.gh, Pearl opened up about her aspirations and explained why she chose Public Administration.

"I chose public administration, sociology and then Chinese. Public administration is a vital field that focuses on the implementation of government policies and then programs. Ghana and China have been strengthening their economic ties in recent years, with China becoming one of Ghana's, largest trading partners.

"The Chinese are coming to our country to do business and create employment with us to strengthen our community. But it's quite unfortunate we are unable to communicate effectively with them. So I'm passionate to learn the language and then teach other Ghanaians free of charge," she said.

NSMQ boy appeals for support

Pearl is not the only person who has suffered this fate. Similarly, a brilliant young man who once contested in the National Science and Maths Quiz qualifying stage for his school also needed funds to go to school.

Genius Kwasi Frimpong lived up to his name by excelling in the WASSCE, scoring 8As. However, due to financial constraints, he was unable to further his education and has called on the general public to help him succeed.

During an interaction with a content creator, Genius indicated that he wanted to study Computer Engineering to improve himself and help solve some of the world's problems.
