The Sanjeev Mansotra Foundation has announced a new scholarship program. It will provide full scholarships to over 20 exceptional young women. This is for the 2026 academic year at the University of Ghana. The announcement was made during a visit to the university’s Financial Aid Office.
This initiative seeks to expand access to higher education across Africa. The Foundation partnered with Drive to Inspire – Africa for this programme. Scholarships will cover all tuition fees and related academic expenses. This support will last for the entire duration of the students’ university studies. The goal is to remove financial obstacles for talented students.
This scholarship programme fits into Ghana’s broader goals. It aims to improve educational access and develop skilled human capital. The University of Ghana, a leading institution, plays a vital role here. Such private-public partnerships are crucial for widening access. Data from the Ghana Statistical Service shows that tertiary education enrollment in Ghana has steadily increased. However, financial constraints remain a significant barrier for many. This programme addresses that directly.
The Sanjeev Mansotra Foundation is a philanthropic initiative. It was established by Sanjeev Mansotra, Chairman of Planet One Group. Planet One Group has diverse business interests. These include education, energy, agriculture, and wellness. These operations span several countries, indicating a significant global reach. The Foundation believes education drives development and social mobility.
Beyond financial aid, recipients will join a mentorship program. This program offers one-on-one guidance. It includes monthly development sessions. Internship opportunities are also part of the package. These elements prepare students for the job market effectively. The partnership between the Sanjeev Mansotra Foundation and Drive to Inspire – Africa is expected to create a stronger pipeline of skilled graduates across the continent.
