Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is extending a generous opportunity to Ghanaian and African students through the MasterCard Foundation Scholarships for the academic years 2024 and 2025. The application deadline for this prestigious scholarship is May 31, 2024, at 17:00 GMT.
The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program at KNUST aims to provide academically gifted yet economically disadvantaged youth in Ghana and across Africa with access to high-quality and relevant university education. This initiative offers not only financial support but also a range of mentoring and cultural transition services to ensure academic success, community engagement, and an eventual transition to employment opportunities for the scholars.
These efforts are geared towards fostering social and economic change across the African continent. While the scholarship program has a preference for science students, applicants from all fields of study are welcome to apply.
The scholarship covers undergraduate studies for the full duration of the program. Interested candidates can download the application form for the 2024–2025 academic year from the official website of the MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program at KNUST (https://mcf.knust.edu.gh/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024-APPLICATION-FORM.pdf).
