Civil Servants Scholarship Application Portal

The Ghana Scholarships Secretariat is processing scholarships for Civil Servants who want to upgrade their academic credentials at the tertiary level in the country to enhance their capacity and improve productivity.

Under the arrangement, qualified staff of the civil service would be sponsored to pursue Diplomas, Bachelors, Masters and PhD programmes in accredited Tertiary Institutions, both Public and Private.

Aside from these, others would be sponsored to undertake short courses in the form of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) usually required as members of professional bodies.

The Registrar of the Scholarships Secretariat, Mr. Kingsley Agyemang, and the Head of the Civil Service, Nana Kwasi Agyekum Dwamena, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the commencement of the process.

About Civil Servants Scholarship Application Portal

The Civil Servants Scholarship will give scholarships to about 100 civil servants annually. Beneficiaries will be subsequently bonded to serve for a minimum of two years after the sponsorship before they can exit

The Civil Servants Scholarship is a strategic directive of the Vice-President as part of Government efforts to offer Civil Servants the opportunity to add to their knowledge and also benefit from Government scholarship.

Once Civil Servants are upgraded academically, it would boost their confidence and help in productivity as well.

This would offer those without certificates the opportunity to acquire Diplomas, those with Diplomas to upgrade to Degrees, while those having Degrees could add to their degrees “because if they acquire knowledge it comes with confidence and trust in what they do”.
