Tyrone Marhguy awarded full scholarship to study at University of Pennsylvania

The four offers he received totalled $1.4 million, which would cover his education for the next four years.

“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been awarded a full scholarship to pursue Computer Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Joining the class of 2028 as a proud Quaker, this incredible opportunity comes after carefully considering breathtaking offers from #upenn, #duke, #Williams, and #F&M, all totaling $1.4 million over the next four years!” Marhguy wrote in his announcement.

Marhguy and another Rastafarian student, Oheneba Nkrabea, became the centre of a national discussion when Achimota Secondary School denied them admission due to their dreadlocks, citing school guidelines that prohibit the hairstyle.

Marhguy’s scholarship achievement is seen as a significant victory for his advocacy of educational rights and cultural identity. Pulse.com.gh extends congratulations to the proud Achimota alumnus.
