Applications for this year's scholarship is open from June 27th 2011.
According to the Sector Minister, Madam Sherry Ayittey, this is the second phase of the Mathematics, Science and Technology Scholarship Scheme (MASTESS) introduced in the 2010/2011 academic year.
Course of Study
Mathematics, Pure and Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology
Application Guidelines
Interested students can obtain application forms from the various District Education Directorates across the country. Some application forms are also available at the Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology in Accra.
Eligibility:
The scholarship targets brilliant but needy students and it is opened to both students who are now enrolling into institutions and continuing students.
Parents, guardians and all interested applicants are urged to respond promptly to the publications by picking forms, completing them and submitting them early to allow the Assessment Committee ample time to review the applications. Students who were also not successful with their applications in the first phase are also encouraged to re-apply.
The committee will use factors extracted from the application form, such as income level of parents, number of siblings who are still in school e.t.c in determining the neediness of an applicant. On the issue of brilliancy, the committee will look at BECE results slips for those enrolling into Senior High Schools and WASSCE result for those entering tertiary institutions. Continuing students' school records will also be considered to determine the brilliancy.
