Ghanaian scholarship students in US appeal to Mahama, Ablakwa for urgent intervention

The student, who spoke anonymously, stated that students face potential sanctions from the university if the government does not settle these obligations. According to an adomonline.com report from August 28, 2026, students have been engaging with the Scholarship Secretariat and other officials since May, when the university began issuing warnings about unpaid fees, but these efforts have not yet yielded results. The beneficiary urged the government, the Foreign Affairs Minister, and other authorities to assist, noting that a similar situation in January was resolved after government intervention.

The prolonged delay is causing anxiety, particularly among students nearing the end of their programs, with some in their final semester. Concerns were raised that failure to resolve the issue could lead to students being sent back to Ghana, potentially damaging the country's reputation and affecting future Ghanaian students planning to study in the United States.
