The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program
is a $500 million, 10-year initiative to educate and prepare young
people – particularly from Africa – to lead change and make a positive
social impact in their communities. The Scholars Program at Ashesi will
provide 200 young people from economically disadvantaged communities who
have demonstrated academic talent and leadership potential with access
to quality and relevant education.
There is no limit to the number of students who can apply. Last year, international students made up 10% of the student population. So, Ashesi began an aggressive international recruitment initiative to increase the number of non-Ghanaians attending the university to between 30%-50% by 2020.
Sponsorship duration: As long as you and your family can continue to demonstrate financial need, you can expect that your scholarship award will be renewed annually.
The Scholarship Committee meets annually to assess the financial status of each scholar’s family. You may be asked to submit updated bank statements, pay slips and other supporting documents to verify your family’s financial standing.
