Welfare Committee Boosts Student Support with SOMESO Fund Prep and Major Fund Donation

The Someso Fund, established by the College of Health Sciences as a financial aid initiative, has operated for several years, easing the financial strain for thousands of underprivileged students of the college. Supported annually by various sponsors—including the Health Sciences Students' Association (HESA)—the program reflects a strong commitment to student welfare. Demonstrating their active involvement, the Association’s leadership not only contributed financially but also took proactive steps to guide members through the fund application process.

In a show of commitment to student success and financial accessibility, the Welfare Committee organized targeted preparatory sessions for students applying to the Someso Fund. These sessions offered guidance on documentation, interview techniques, and one-on-one mentorship which equipped applicants with the requisite tools they needed to succeed. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, affirming the value of our support.

The Committee, led by Vice President Kwame Ahenkorah Antwi, didn’t end their effort there. They played a key role in ensuring the smooth execution of the Someso Fund interviews, helping with logistics and coordinating interview schedules.

In line with their enduring mission to promote student welfare, the committee has announced a substantial donation to the Someso Fund next semester. This contribution aims to strengthen the fund’s capacity to support students who are most in need—because at the heart of this association is a community that lifts each other up in times of need.
