EPI (Educational Pathways International) Scholarship - University of Ghana

University of Ghana, Ghana

Scholarship overview

The Educational Pathways International (EPI) scholarship is offered through the University of Ghana Students Financial Aid Office (SFAO). It is designed for high-achieving students who come from areas of need.

The award covers tuition, books, room and board, and a little extra, and runs for four years as long as the student keeps at least a B CGPA (3.0). Most awards go to new Level 100 students, with a limited number of places for continuing students.

The SFAO page says medical students, both Level 100 and continuing, are encouraged to apply. Applicants must pledge not to accept any other scholarship while on the EPI programme.

How recipients are selected

  • Selection is by the Students Financial Aid Office using your online application, essays and supporting need documents.
