National Film Authority, Juliet Asante’s daughter, Zina Asante, secured admission to Emmanuel College in the United States in 2018 for a pre-medicine program at a cost of USD41,026.

The school touted the course as a stepping stone into the medical field.

Zina wasn’t the sole recipient of a government scholarship for pre-med studies. Nine others, including Araba Twumasi Mensah, daughter of former MP Joe Mensah, also received funding for the same program.

Miss Mensah pursued her pre-med studies at the University of Oklahoma from 2019 to 2023, benefiting from USD36,675 in scholarships annually.

The influence of prominent figures can open doors for their children, as seen in the case of Adom Effah-Dartey, son of Captain Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey, a prominent NPP member and former MP.

In 2019, Adom received a scholarship to pursue a Bachelor of Law degree at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, with the Scholarship Secretariat covering GBP19,130 for the course.
