PIE (Progress in Education) Scholarship - University of Ghana

University of Ghana, Ghana

Scholarship overview

The Progress in Education (PIE) Scholarship is offered through the Students Financial Aid Office (SFAO) of the University of Ghana. It supports new students who cannot easily cover their education costs.

It is for Level 100 regular students who can show limited family income or not enough funds for most or all education-related expenses, and who got an aggregate of 16 or better at the WASSCE.

The award runs for four years, as long as you keep a CGPA of at least 3.0 (a B) as a continuing student. The 2024/2025 call was the latest the SFAO page describes.

How recipients are selected

  • Applications are assessed on academic record (WASSCE grades), financial need shown by supporting documents, essays and recommendation letters.
