Aquila Beausoleil Partners UCC Law Faculty To Offer Scholarships

The University of Cape Coast, Faculty of Law, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Aquila Beausoleil, a young girl who is passionate about the study of law.

Known as the “Aquila Beausoleil-UCC Law Scholarship,” the programme would be committed to providing scholarship in the form of financial support to deserving students, who desire to read law at the faculty.

The significance of the MoU is not just because it is the first long-term privately funded scholarship, but it is also meant to provide substantial financial aid to make legal education more accessible to the less privilege.

Young Aquila Beausoleil, who initiated the programme, is a brilliant, determined and entrepreneurial young lady who is committed to leaving a lasting legacy with her family and has a dream of studying law.

Funding for the programme has been provided by Mr Victor Beausoleil and Ama Beausoleil, who are the proud parents of the compassionate young Aquila Beausoleil, to demonstrate the power of community and unity.

On its official website, the Faculty of Law, UCC, describes the MoU as groundbreaking, adding that “This is a huge milestone, as it is all about supporting deserving law students with financial aid and making legal education more accessible”.

The Faculty also expressed appreciation to the parents of Aquila Beausoleil who are the bankrollers of the initiative as the scholarship would be expected to ameliorate the plights of deserving students.

“We are grateful to Victor & Ama Beausoleil for their benefaction, as well as the Dean of the faculty of Law at the University of Cape Coast, Julia Selman Ayetey, for concluding the terms of the scholarship and to Alexander Hackman-Aidoo for his facilitation”.

According to the Faculty, the scholarship, which has the aim of widening access to education, promote community service and enhance professional networks, would also empower future legal minds and strengthen the capacity of well deserving students.

The sentiments from a prominent Africa proverb that: “Fast alone or far together” were the spirit in which the Aquila Beausoleil-UCC (University of Cape Coast) Law Scholarship was established.
