Overview

Established in August 2005, the University of Ghana's Students Financial Aid Office (SFAO) serves as a strategic initiative to ensure that bright but needy Ghanaian students have equitable access to university education. By providing financial support through full or partial scholarships, fee arrangements, and work-study opportunities, the SFAO aims to remove cost barriers that might otherwise prevent qualified individuals from achieving their academic goals.
Funding for these programs is sourced from the government, the university, and private contributions, and is specifically targeted at full-time, regular students who demonstrate both academic excellence and significant financial need. The application process for continuing students begins annually in November, with awards finalized by the end of the second semester for implementation in the following academic year. Students uncertain of their eligibility are encouraged to contact the SFAO directly for guidance.
