STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

As the first girl in my family to attend university, receiving this scholarship was a turning point. The support made it possible for me to pursue my degree without being a burden to my parents. I’m now committed to helping other girls from Northern Ghana follow this same path.

Without the support of the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat, I wouldn’t have made it this far. Their funding covered my entire tuition and allowed me to focus fully on my studies. Today, I’m graduating with first-class honours. This scholarship changed my life.
