British High Commission Accra bids farewell to 17 Chevening Scholarship and 30 Commonwealth Scholarship winners.
On Thursday 22 August 2024, the British High Commissioner바카라 사이트檚 residence was filled with excitement, as the British High Commission Accra, in partnership with the British Council Ghana, hosted a farewell reception to honour the latest cohort of Chevening and Commonwealth Scholars from Ghana.
The event, which gathered scholarship awardees, alumni, and key officials from the High Commission and British Council, was a testament to the enduring partnership between the UK and Ghana in fostering educational excellence and leadership development.
Over the past 40 years, the Commonwealth Scholarship has funded the education of over 2,000 Ghanaians, while Chevening Scholarship has supported more than 400 young people from Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso in the pursuance of world-class education. Many of these individuals have gone on to become pioneers in various sectors, ranging from governance to climate activism.

This year, 17 scholars will travel to the UK on the Chevening scholarship to pursue fully funded one-year master바카라 사이트檚 degrees at UK universities. Additionally, 30 others will study on the Commonwealth Scholarship. These scholars will be attending top UK universities including Cambridge, King바카라 사이트檚 College London, Brimingham, and Glasgow, where they will pursue master바카라 사이트檚 degree in fields such as law, public health, education, climate, international security and business.
