UG Sponsorship (Continuing Students)

University of Ghana, Ghana

Scholarship overview

UG Sponsorship is a University of Ghana scheme run by the Students Financial Aid Office (SFAO). It gives financial support for tuition fees to needy and brilliant regular main campus undergraduate students.

This page covers the renewal route for continuing students. The latest renewal notice we could read is for the 2025/2026 academic year. It is for students who already hold UG Sponsorship, including students awarded it in Level 100 during the 2024/2025 first semester.

Renewal is done online with the required essays. You must also print a declaration form and take it to the SFAO office. New applicants use a different application type on the same online form.
