KSDAA Scholarship Student Reports
According to the KSDA administration, headed by Alexander Yallah, the submission of students’ academic records per semester is in fulfillment of an important part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between KSDA and the Grand Gedeh Technical College.
The KSDA has confirmed that it has received detailed report from the GGCCC of academic performances of 41 Scholarship beneficiaries of the District Association at GGCCC.
The press release said that the reports cover the period September-December, 2016 Academic Semester.

The reports also include grades of four beneficiaries who completed their courses at GGCCC in November, 2016, and graduated in December, 2016, with Associate of Arts degrees in Business, Public Administration and Education,” the release said.
Meanwhile, KSDA says its Education Committee is currently preparing to vet a batch of 49 new applicants for scholarship. The district association has since made the development of human resource capacity of Grand Gedeh County and Liberia at large, one of its priorities.
