Ashesi University Scholarships

Ashesi University, with its partners, gives scholarships to admitted students who need help paying for their education. The aim is that an Ashesi education is affordable for everyone who qualifies. Ashesi says about 50% of students receive some scholarship and 25% pay zero fees.

The scholarships are for undergraduate students who are admitted to Ashesi and who show financial need. Ashesi was ranked first in Ghana for scholarships and contributions to UN SDG 1 (no poverty) in the THE Impact Rankings.

Admission is decided first and is need-blind. After that, students who applied for aid are placed in a need category, ranked by the strength of their application, and funded until the money for that period runs out.

How recipients are selected

• Admission is decided first (need-blind).
• The Scholarship Committee, made up of the admissions team, assesses your financial need. It may ask more questions at your interview.
• You are placed in Extreme, High, Medium or Low Need.
• Within each category, students are ranked by application strength and funded until money runs out.
• Others go on a waitlist and are offered funds if someone declines.
