Empowering Future Leaders through Education

The Ghana Innov8 Scholarship Program is a scholarship initiative aimed to support outstanding Ghanaian students in their academic pursuits. Inspired by the philosophy of “Sankofa,” which emphasizes learning from the past to build a brighter future, this program seeks to empower the next generation of leaders through financial assistance and mentorship.

We are offering six scholarships, each valued at $500, which can be utilized towards various educational expenses, including purchasing essential educational materials (ex: books), attending educational conferences, covering travel expenses for academic engagements, and obtaining certifications that contribute to your professional development.
