Building the Next Generation of Female Postgraduate Engineers Scholarship Project 2021/2022
In order to bridge the gap between female/male ratios and promote diversity and innovation in postgraduate engineering studies at the University of Ghana, distinguished Ghanaian engineers (see below) have initiated a scholarship for female graduating students in engineering to enroll in the MPhil programme.
The focus of the scholarship is on females from the following disciplines/departments in the School of Engineering Sciences at UG who, without financial assistance, will not be able to further their studies:
- Agricultural Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Food Process Engineering
- Materials Science & Engineering
About Scholarship
- Applications are invited from candidates interested in receiving international-quality MPhil training in an engineering-related area and access to research and innovation at the University of Ghana, Legon.
- MPhil scholarships are available for outstanding female engineering students who have demonstrated good performance at the undergraduate level who otherwise do not have the means to pursue MPhil studies and who are not currently enrolled in any MPhil program.
- The scholarships cover costs of the MPhil Program, university fees, supervision, and research support.
