LIYSF Sponsorship for a Ghanaian Student

London International Youth Science Forum, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) is a residential STEM summer programme in London. The 2026 notice describes about 500 students from around 80 countries meeting for 15 days, from 19 July to 1 August 2026.

LIYSF says it was founded in 1959 and is run by a not-for-profit organisation. The Ghana Scholarships Authority announced that the organisers would sponsor one student from Ghana.

The place is for school-age and young students with a passion for science. Interested students apply to LIYSF first, then send proof to the Authority to be considered for sponsorship.
