Why are Ghana’s foreign scholarship students struggling financially?
Students in Morocco protested outside the Ghanaian embassy in Rabat after waiting for almost a year for their stipends. They say they’re struggling to meet their basic needs.
The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has been pleading for urgent support for Ghanaian students studying abroad who have not received their stipends for almost a year. The students are on a government scholarship, and they left Ghana with the promise of getting financial support during their time at university. The scholarship was set up for "brilliant and needy" students. But as Ghana is facing its own economic crisis, it has left these students with a huge financial burden of their own.
