Ghanaian Students Studying Abroad (GSA) Under GETFUND Scholarship Demand Payment Of Fees And Living Allowances

We, Ghanaian students studying under GETFund sponsorship in the UK are faced with challenges related to non-payment of fees and allowances and wish to register our disappointment at the Government of Ghana for failure to pay our fees and living allowances since August, 2013.

Attempts to reach the authorities of GETfund to pay our fees and living allowances have proved futile and we are on the verge of being sacked from our various Universities. We have sent several emails to GETFund to register our frustrations but they have refused to reply to our emails.

Complaints by university authorities and hostel managers unleashing debt collectors on us to retrieve unpaid hostel rents have been some of our difficulties in the United Kingdom. Some of us have been relying on our parents back home to get money for hostel fees and food since the government has failed to pay both our tuition fees and other allowances. We wish to humbly call on the president, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, to promptly salvage the situation.

Signed
John Kwame Domfeh,
