Ghanaian students — news, scholarships and practical tips

Are you a Ghanaian student looking for reliable news, scholarship leads, or real-life study tips? This tag page gathers stories and guides that matter to students in Ghana and abroad. You’ll find updates about campus life, funding opportunities, travel and visa info, and career steps that actually work.

Quick, useful tips every Ghanaian student can use

Need money for school? Start with local scholarships from universities and the Ghana Education Trust Fund, then expand to regional awards like the Mastercard Foundation and Commonwealth scholarships. Apply early, tailor each essay to the funder’s goals, and get at least two people to proofread your application.

Thinking of studying abroad? Check visa timelines well before the semester starts. Some embassies take weeks to process student visas. Book affordable flights by comparing low-cost carriers and watch for student discounts on travel platforms. Also, learn basic health and safety rules for your destination — that saves stress when you arrive.

Want better grades without cramming? Use short daily study blocks (25–45 minutes) with focused breaks. Join or form a study group for tricky subjects — teaching others boosts your own understanding. And keep a simple calendar: track assignments, deadlines, and internship openings in one place.

Looking for work while you study? Check campus job boards, freelancing sites, and local businesses. Roles in tutoring, customer service, and digital marketing often accept flexible hours. Build a LinkedIn profile and list volunteer projects or classwork that show practical skills.
