The Accra Institute of Technology (AIT) has announced the launch of its merit-based scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across various disciplines for international students within the ECOWAS region, to boost educational mobility across the region.
Professor Clement Dzidonu, the president of AIT, said the scholarships, which include both half and full tuition waivers, aim to attract exceptional international students from diverse backgrounds who demonstrate remarkable academic achievements and possess a strong commitment to personal growth and community development.
“The half tuition scholarship will cover 50 percent of the tuition for selected undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by AIT, while the full tuition scholarship will provide full coverage of tuition for the most promising international students who exemplify not only academic excellence but also extraordinary leadership potential and a commitment to driving positive change in their societies.
“To apply for these prestigious scholarships, prospective international students must have exceptional academic records with a strong performance in previous studies, demonstrated leadership qualities and extracurricular achievements,” Dzidonu said.
In addition, applicants will be required to take the AIT scholarship aptitude test (A-SAT), which is designed to assess their aptitude in specific subject areas or academic skills. The A-SAT is a competitive test and only those who are meritorious will be considered for the scholarships.
AIT offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across various disciplines, including information technology, computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, business administration and occupational safety and health risk management. The scholarship application is open and applicants can apply online.
“By offering these opportunities, AIT seeks to empower international students to pursue their passion and make meaningful impact in the world. The introduction of these scholarships represents AIT’s dedication to creating a diverse and inclusive educational environment where talent and potential are recognised and supported within the ECOWAS region and boost students’ mobility for regional development and empowerment of human resources,” Dzidonu added.
Mr Osei-Boakye, registrar of the institute led the launching of the scholarship and asked all applicants to apply through the AIT’s website.
“Accra Institute of Technology is renowned for its academic excellence and innovative approach to education and has earned national and international recognition for its commitment to research, community engagement and holistic development,” he said.
