GREAT Scholarship Ghana: Scholarship for African Students

The GREAT Scholarship programme, jointly funded by the UK government's GREAT Britain Campaign and the British Council with participating UK universities, offers Ghanaian students £10,000 towards their tuition fees for one-year taught postgraduate courses at universities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland for the 2026-27 academic year. Over 140 scholarships are offered by more than 60 UK universities, covering subjects ranging from science and technology to arts, business, and social sciences. The programme aims to build lasting educational and professional ties between the UK and Ghana while supporting talented Ghanaian students in accessing world-class education. Recipients gain access to prestigious UK university education, a vibrant academic community, and the professional networks that come with studying at a UK institution. Graduates return to Ghana with advanced qualifications, global networks, and skills that can contribute significantly to Ghana's development. The scholarship is a testament to the strong partnership between the UK and Ghana in education and research.
