GETFund Scholarship Applications for 2026/2027
The GETFund Undergraduate Local Scholarship is intended for eligible students studying in Ghanaian institutions of higher learning. The application announcement covers students pursuing three main categories of programmes: Diploma, HND, and Degree programmes.
This means that students in these categories can check the official portal to find out whether they qualify and what documents they need to provide.
Students should understand that meeting the general programme categories does not automatically guarantee a scholarship award. Every applicant must satisfy the official eligibility requirements and go through the selection process.
Applicants are therefore advised to read all the information on the scholarship portal carefully before beginning their applications.
