FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is funds to help you and your family pay for educational expenses such as academic and residential fees, books, transportation, and living expenses. Financial aid is thus available and intended to remove the cost barriers that may prevent you from attaining your educational goals. Assistance is available from a variety of sources such as funding from Government, the University, and other private sources. Brilliant students who demonstrate significant financial need may qualify for financial aid.
For now, financial aid provided by the University involves financial support towards academic fees only. The additional elements would be added as more resources become available.
TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid at the University is in the form of a scholarship either in full or part.
The office is also aggressively seeking on-campus work-study or part-time job opportunities for students.

• Be a Ghanaian citizen
