Joseph & Elizabeth Quansah Foundation

Joseph and Elizabeth Quansah, American academics from Ghana, started the JEQ Foundation to help excellent but needy students in Ghana attend college.

The Foundation provides scholarships for tuition, housing, and laptops to selected college students. Four Main Challenges for Needy Students in Ghana

1. Cost of tuition and housing

With monthly incomes as low as $86 for those without a college degree, many families cannot fund their children’s higher education.

2. Disparities in access to education between rural and urban regions

Students may

have to travel hundreds of miles from their homes and support systems to obtain a college or university education.

3. Limited access to federal and private student loans

Students and their families cannot get student loans because most do not have qualified guarantors to secure loans for them.

4. Lack of educational materials, learning supplies, and technology resources. Even the most basic laptop is beyond reach for many students. Please join us to change the trajectory of excellent but needy students in Ghana, West Africa
