Scholarships

The office coordinates the establishment of scholarships by organisations and individuals to support needy but brilliant students. All these scholarships are for a year. The office is responsible for the following scholarship schemes: 

“Ketewara Biara Nsua” (KBN) Bursary 

This is an internal bursary support mainly financed by the SRC. The office with the support of representatives from the Colleges, the Counselling Centre, and the Student Representative Council (SRC) facilitates and manages the process leading to the selection and award of the KBN Bursary to needy students. KBN is intended to be used to support tuition, and not for any other purpose.  

KNUST Bursary 

The University, from its Internally Generated Funds (IGF), awards bursaries to its brilliant but needy students. Unlike the KBN which is open to all students irrespective of their academic performance, the student should have a minimum CWA of 60 to benefit from the KNUST bursary. Application for the bursary is usually open in the second semester. The KNUST Bursary supports tuition only. 

The DoSA Support to Needy Students 

The Directorate of Student Affairs, through its own funds, provides support to extremely needy students in the form of the payment of their Academic Facility User Fees (AFUF), Residential Facility User Fees (RFUF) (i.e., accommodation), or the provision of monthly stipends. Students who require such support apply to the Director and are selected after an interview in the first two weeks of the first (1st) semester of the academic year. 

  • Other Scholarship Scheme 

Some institutions, have over the years, supported KNUST students and continue to collaborate with DoSA to support needy students by providing scholarships/bursaries advertised on the University’s website. These institutions include:  

  • Fondazione Education;  

  • Educational Pathways International Scholarship;  

  • Test for Ghana;  

  • Empowering Africa;   

  • Kingdom Bookshop  

  • Some colleges have student financial support services that are not managed by the SSFS of DoSA.
