Key Features

  • Local scholarships (main focus): For undergraduate and postgraduate (Masters/PhD) study at accredited tertiary institutions in Ghana (primarily public; some private for postgrad).
  • Foreign scholarships: Limited awards for Masters/PhD abroad, with preference for STEM, special-needs education, lecturers at public institutions, persons with disability, and tuition-free universities.
  • Coverage (typical for local awards): Full or substantial tuition/fees, accommodation or living stipend, book allowance, and sometimes project/dissertation support. Recent updates confirm tuition payments for 2025/2026 beneficiaries (stipends sometimes delayed).
  • The Foundation has supported thousands of students overall (over 9,700 historically; around 1,390 on the national scheme at recent counts) and partnered with others (e.g., KGL Foundation) to expand places.
