The Ghana Scholarships Authority (GSA) has clarified that "No Objection" letters issued to Ghanaian scholarship recipients seeking to use the UK's Graduate Route do not cancel or alter their scholarship bonds. The letters were provided upon request by beneficiaries who desired to gain post-study professional experience after completing their approved UK programmes under the two-year Graduate Route visa.
The GSA emphasized in a statement on August 10, 2026, that the issuance of such letters did not waive or cancel any obligations under the scholarship bonds. It stressed that the Graduate Route allows beneficiaries to enhance their skills and gain work experience, contributing to Ghana's human capital development. The obligation to return to Ghana and fulfill scholarship commitments remains valid unless altered by the appropriate authorities.
This clarification comes amid ongoing concerns over the Oath of Affirmation and Scholarship Validation Exercise for beneficiaries in the UK. The GSA affirmed that this exercise does not introduce new conditions but aims to reaffirm beneficiaries' accepted commitments. It urged all affected beneficiaries to participate in the validation exercise, promising respectful, transparent, and good-faith engagement.
