Scholarships for Ghanaian students
Find fully funded scholarships, fellowships and paid internships open to Ghanaian students worldwide — from MasterCard Foundation Scholars to Chevening, Fulbright, DAAD and more.
Ghana is one of the most active scholarship markets on the continent, punching well above its size in Fulbright, MasterCard Foundation Scholars and DAAD placements. Below are the live opportunities currently open to Ghanaian applicants in our database.
Where Ghanaians win most. The U.S. is consistently Ghana's strongest destination (MasterCard at Michigan, Berkeley and ASU; Fulbright Foreign Student), followed by the UK (Chevening, Commonwealth Shared, Rhodes Africa) and Germany (DAAD EPOS, Heinrich Böll). Canada and the Netherlands round out the top five.
Application calendar. Chevening closes in early November, Commonwealth in October, DAAD between August and October, and most U.S. graduate funding by mid-January. Use the WAEC results window in August to start early — most international applications need certified transcripts.

Frequently asked questions
Who can apply for scholarships for Ghanaian students?
Ghanaian citizens at the Bachelors, Masters or PhD level can apply, provided they meet each programme's academic and language requirements.
Are these scholarships fully funded?
We prioritise fully funded opportunities — tuition, stipend, insurance and travel — and clearly label any partial-funding awards.
Which countries fund Ghanaian students most often?
The United States (Fulbright, MasterCard Foundation), United Kingdom (Chevening, Commonwealth), Germany (DAAD), and China (CSC) are the largest funders for Ghanaians.
Do Ghanaians need IELTS?
Most UK and US universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter from Ghanaian universities, since English is the language of instruction. Non-Anglophone destinations may still require IELTS or TOEFL.
Are there undergraduate scholarships for Ghanaians?
Yes — MasterCard Foundation Scholars at Ashesi and KNUST, African Leadership University, and Quest Bridge for high-achieving low-income applicants.
How often is this list refreshed?
Daily. Closed scholarships are removed and new ones are added as soon as our editors verify them with the official sponsor — so every opportunity here is currently open to Ghanaian applicants.
