Scholarships for Ghanaian undergraduates.

To qualify for consideration, applicants must:

• Be a Ghanaian citizen.
• Be admitted to or currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at a recognized and accredited university in Ghana.
• Be entering any year of undergraduate study, including newly admitted first-year students.
• Demonstrate genuine financial need or circumstances that create barriers to accessing or continuing university education.
• Demonstrate commitment to their education and willingness to make satisfactory academic progress.
• Submit a complete application with the required supporting documentation.

Students from all academic disciplines and all years of undergraduate study are eligible to apply.

Financial need is a central consideration in our scholarship selection process. We understand that financial hardship takes different forms and that students may face challenges beyond their control.

Applications will be evaluated with consideration for circumstances such as:

• Limited household income or financial support.
• Unemployment or financial hardship affecting parents or guardians.
• Loss of a parent, guardian, or primary financial supporter.
• Significant family responsibilities.
• Outstanding university tuition obligations.
• Unexpected circumstances affecting the ability to continue education.

Applicants will have the opportunity to explain their circumstances through a personal statement and relevant supporting documentation. We recognize that financial hardship is not always easily documented and will consider reasonable alternative evidence where appropriate.

We believe academic potential cannot always be measured by grades alone. There is no universal minimum GPA or CGPA requirement for our scholarship programs. Instead, we use a holistic approach that considers:

• Academic performance and progress.
• Commitment to learning and personal development.
• Determination to overcome challenges.
• Educational goals and future aspirations.
• Personal circumstances that may have affected academic performance.

Applicants should provide their most recent available academic records, including university transcripts or secondary school examination results for newly admitted students.

While strong academic achievement may receive additional consideration under the Excellence Scholarship, students will not automatically be excluded from general scholarship consideration because of a particular GPA or CGPA.

Ambition, resilience and determination are essential qualities in students seeking to transform their lives through education. Applicants are invited to describe:

• Applicants’ reasons for choosing a field of study.
• Applicants’ educational and career aspirations.
• Challenges applicants have encountered during their education.
• The contribution a scholarship would make to applicants’ educational goals.
• Applicants’ plans to contribute positively to their communities or society.

We encourage applicants to share their stories authentically.

Special consideration may be given to students who are at immediate risk of interrupting or discontinuing their education because of financial hardship. Examples include students who:

• Have outstanding tuition balances.
• Face possible suspension or withdrawal because of unpaid university fees.
• Cannot register for an upcoming semester due to financial constraints.
• Are approaching graduation but face financial barriers to completing their studies.

These circumstances will receive particular consideration under the Education Continuity Grant.

Applicants may be required to submit:

1. Completed online scholarship application.
2. Proof of university admission or current enrollment.
3. Most recent available academic transcript or examination results.
4. Personal statement describing educational goals, motivation, and financial circumstances.
5. University tuition statement or outstanding fee balance, where applicable.
6. Supporting documentation relevant to financial hardship, where reasonably available.

Additional documentation may be requested during the selection process. Applicants should provide accurate and truthful information. Submission of false or misleading information may result in disqualification.

We are committed to a fair, transparent and consistent selection process.
