In a statement issued in Accra on April 20, 2026, the Secretariat—under the Office of the President—invited qualified Ghanaian students who have secured admission into recognized tertiary institutions across the country to apply. The scholarship scheme is designed to support academically gifted but financially disadvantaged students in pursuing higher education.
According to the release, the application window runs from Monday, April 20, 2026, to Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Authorities have urged applicants to adhere strictly to the deadline, stressing that late submissions will not be considered.

The initiative forms part of government efforts to expand access to tertiary education and ease the financial burden on deserving students nationwide.
