20 students granted Erasmus Mundus Scholarships

Twenty Ghanaian students from Universities across the country have been granted prestigious scholarships under the Erasmus plus programme for the year 2017.
 
They will pursue courses at both Masters and Doctoral level in European Universities.

The scholarships are expected to help the twenty students acquire high level skills, knowledge and varied experience that will help them to contribute in future to Ghana's sustainable development.
 
Since 2004, 245 students and staff from Ghana have benefited from the Erasmus plus scholarships, centrally funded by the EU budget. 

It is estimated that a total of about one thousand Ghanaian students gain scholarships to European Universities each year.

The European Union and the Member States will host the new Erasmus students Friday July 28, to an orientation meeting with alumni of the Erasmus plus programme in Ghana.

This will help them to make a smooth transition from Ghana to their host countries and universities in Europe.
