The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has announced the opening of applications for its one-year bursary scheme aimed at supporting brilliant but needy students pursuing full-time programmes at the university.
The bursary is available to regular Ghanaian students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. However, final-year students, fee-paying and parallel students are not eligible to apply. Continuing students currently benefiting from any scholarship or bursary exceeding GHȻ 1,500 are also excluded.
