In a recent update, the Minister in charge of Government Communications, Mr. Felix Ofosu Kwakye, shared the latest milestones of the initiative, painting a picture of significant progress and hope.
As of the 7th August 2025 application deadline, the numbers tell a compelling story: a remarkable 207,087 applications poured in from students eager to benefit from the financial support. Of these, public tertiary institutions officially enrolled 178,745 students, forwarding their details for further processing.
