A committee made up of 11 members was set to manage the office and funding will be from the university.

The Pro-Vice chancellor and the chairperson SFSO committee, Prof. Dora
Edu-Buandoh, in an address, said the rational behind setting up this support office was to help release the financial burden of needy, promising students and give them hope and peace of mind for them to learn and pass well. She said the decision was taken last year after management realized that there was a critical need for the university to set aside some money to aid its brilliant , promising students who were financially constrained.

Prof. Dora Edu-Buandoh said the office has also begun to collaboration with the Scholarship Secretariat to reach eligible student easily. She further indicated, they would work to identify areas where students could be employed on a part-time basis to help provide some income for them.
