About The Tertiary Education Scholarship Trust
The Tertiary Education Scholarship Trust for GHANA is a registered Ghanaian charity formed by a group of graduates from Linacre College, Oxford University and is managed by Trustees in Ghana. The Trust is a constituent member of the UK Charity, TEST for AFRICA’s family and its objectives and approach are aligned with those of TEST for Africa.Â
Since 2014 there have been well over 800 students supported by TEST for Ghana and currently 140 students have scholarships, with some great case studies at ‘Our Scholars’. TEST scholars are provided with a mentor on campus to provide support and take a keen interest in the academic progress of the student. After graduation, scholars are linked with businesses to help them excel both academically and professionally. All scholars agree to work in Ghana for at least 5 years after graduation, which helps with the social and economic development of Ghana.
