About the Authority
Origin and purpose
Built for national development through education.
Since 1960, the Authority has helped open education pathways for Ghanaians whose potential could be limited by financial barriers. Its work supports students and qualified workers who need access to tertiary, professional, local, and foreign study opportunities.
The Authority connects public funding, GETFund support, donor partnerships, and verified scholarship opportunities into a service that applicants can trust. This includes guidance on requirements, official notices, documentation, and the right channels for application.
Over the years, scholarship support has helped Ghanaians build the skills needed for public service, health, education, engineering, research, business, technology, and community leadership. Each award is more than tuition support; it is an investment in families, districts, institutions, and Ghana's long-term workforce.
