  "account": "Ghana Baptist University College (GBUC) has introduced tuition scholarships for 2026 Senior High School leavers seeking admission for the 2026/2027 academic year. These scholarships range from 50 to 100 percent coverage of university fees, offering low-income students an opportunity to pursue tertiary education. The scheme, announced on September 15, aims to assist students from disadvantaged backgrounds who may otherwise face financial difficulties in meeting university tuition costs. Eligible SHS graduates and qualified applicants can apply for the scholarships, which continue throughout the duration of their chosen programme, provided they meet the scholarship conditions. The scholarships apply to regular undergraduate and diploma programmes at GBUC, including Business Administration with various specializations, Bachelor of Education in English and French, Diploma in French Education, and Diploma in Business Administration. To address outstanding fees after receiving a scholarship, GBUC offers a payment arrangement with three instalments: 60 percent before registration, 20 percent by the middle of the semester, and 20 percent before end-of-semester examinations. Poorer students who receive a 100 percent tuition scholarship will have their tuition fees fully covered, while those with a 50 percent award will still need to meet the remaining balance and any additional charges not covered by the scholarship. GBUC, established in Kumasi in 2006 and affiliated with the University of Cape Coast, is seeking support from various organizations, including churches, foundations, District Assemblies, non-governmental organisations, and other entities, to help cover fee balances for students whose scholarships do not fully meet their tuition costs. Applications for admission and tuition scholarships can be submitted through the university’s online application portal at www.gbuc.edu.gh. Applicants are advised to verify the eligibility requirements and conditions attached to the scholarship before applying.",
