The JEQ Foundation founded in the USA in 2019, was established to support Ghanaian students who excel academically but lack financial resources for tertiary education. The foundation provides tuition/ residential scholarships, and laptops to selected needy but excellent students who have gained admission to undergraduate programs in public or private educational institutions. In addition to the financial support, the foundation provides academic advising, mentorship, and some internship opportunities in Ghana for scholarship recipients.
