He was happy that many previous scholarship winners had been placed in prestigious universities across the country and beyond. Some have also completed tertiary education and were doing very well in their various fields of endeavour.

Mrs Gifty Afful, an English Language teacher of the school in an interview indicated that she was proud of being part of an organisation that has the needy at heart. According to her, teaching such students "was inspiring and humbling."
