Scholarships and Grants
Directorate of Student Affairs
The Directorate of Student Affairs is responsible for the welfare and discipline of all students and gives meaning to the role of Senior Members as acting in loco parentis for students. The office coordinates the establishment of scholarships by organisations and individuals to support needy but brilliant students. All these scholarships are for a year. The office is responsible for the following scholarship schemes:
KNUST BUSARY
The University, from its Internally Generated Funds (IGF), awards bursaries to its brilliant but needy students. Unlike the KBN which is open to all students irrespective of their academic performance, the student should have a minimum CWA of 60 to benefit from the KNUST bursary. Application for the bursary is usually open in the second semester. The KNUST Bursary supports tuition only.
KETEWA BIA NSUA
This is an internal bursary, mainly funded by the SRC. The office, with the support of representatives from the Colleges, the Counselling Centre, and the Student Representative Council (SRC) facilitates and manages the process leading to the selection and award of the KBN Bursary to needy students. KBN is intended to be used to support tuition, and not for any other purpose.
The DoSA Support for Needy Students
The Some institutions have, over the years, supported KNUST students and continue to collaborate with DoSA to support needy students by providing scholarships/bursaries advertised on the University’s website.Directorate of Student Affairs, through its own funds, provides support to extremely needy students by paying their Academic Facility User Fees (AFUF) and Residential Facility User Fees (RFUF) (i.e., accommodation), or by providing monthly stipends. Students who require such support apply to the Director and are selected after an interview in the first two weeks of the first (1st) semester of the academic year.
