Why this matters for Ghanaians
This program explicitly welcomes African applicants, including Ghanaians who hold WAEC results recognized across West Africa. Ghanaian students must sit the Nigerian UTME exam (accessible to international candidates) and meet the 220 minimum score. The scholarship removes financial barriers for high-potential Ghanaian youth to study at a Nigerian private university with Mastercard Foundation career networks across the continent.
