The MTN Bright Scholarship seeks to ease the financial burden on students by catering for the cost of tuition, accommodation, and providing a stipend for books for the beneficiaries. The MTN Ghana Foundation will award 100 scholarships to students in public tertiary institutions across the country for the 2020/2021 academic year.

Applicants who meet all the criteria may apply through the web portal scholarship.mtn.com.gh. This year’s application process will only be online. No hardcopy applications will be accepted. The scholarship award is free and no payments must be made for processing, submission, or final selection.

The commencement of MTN Bright Scholarship in 2018 was in fulfillment of a commitment MTN made to Ghanaians during the commemoration of its 20th Anniversary in 2016. During the celebrations, MTN, through the MTN Ghana Foundation promised to award a total of 300 scholarships over a period of three years.  So far, 200 scholarships have been presented to students in public tertiary institutions across the country for 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 academic years respectively. The final batch of 100 scholarships will be presented for the 2020 edition of the Bright Scholarship scheme.
