Vice President Dr. Bawumia launches online scholarship application system

Application for Secretariat’s Scholarship and Administration System has now been digitized by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

The launch was held in Accra on Tuesday, March 31, 2020.

Interested people can now apply by visiting www.scholarshipgh.com.

Speaking at the official launch, Vice President Bawumia said the digitization of scholarship processes has come at the appropriate time, when the world is faced with the COVID-19 pandemic which has temporarily shut down almost all social institutions, especially the education sector.

The launch of the Online portal is in line with President Akufo-Addo’s vision to digitize and formalize government service delivery processes, help to eliminate the inconveniences that applicants experience seeking government sponsorships and also help the Secretariat in proper and efficient administration of scholarships in the country.

“The enhanced use of technology, which is reflected in this administration’s Digitization Agenda, is a very relevant tool in the fight against the COVID 19 pandemic, as digitization by its nature leads to social distancing. Today, we can access many services while sitting in the comfort of our homes, without the human interface which could lead to the spread of the virus.

“We are delivering and will continue to deliver more services online, such as the ECG app, paperless ports, DVLA, Passport Office and the rest. Indeed, God willing, we will launch the Ghana.gov portal next month, a one-stop-shop for accessing government services. Scholarshipgh.com will be included in due time,” the Vice President disclosed.
