Ten students of Accra Technical University (ATU) have been awarded the MTN Bright Scholarship at a ceremony held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at the Wesley Towers, Ridge, Accra. The event brought together dignitaries, corporate leaders, academics, and scholarship beneficiaries from across the country to celebrate this year’s cohort of awardees.

The MTN Bright Scholarship, instituted by the MTN Ghana Foundation, is designed to provide full support for brilliant but financially challenged students in tertiary institutions. Beneficiaries receive tuition, accommodation, a stipend, and a laptop to help them in their studies. This year, 500 students and teachers across the country were selected through a competitive process that attracted over 3,600 applications.
Ten ATU students were part of the beneficiaries. They came from different faculties, demonstrating the university’s strong performance across several disciplines. Their success also reflects ATU’s growing contribution to training skilled graduates who can support Ghana’s development, especially in technical and applied sciences.

The University was represented at the ceremony by Ms. Fausta Killian Ganaa, Director of Public Affairs, and Mrs. Esther Dortey, Head of Students’ Financial Support Services, who also doubled as a panel member. They joined other dignitaries to witness the achievements of the students and to share in the celebration of the impact the scholarship is making in the lives of young people across the country.
Since its re-launch in 2018, the MTN Bright Scholarship has supported hundreds of students nationwide, with many graduates now working in areas such as engineering, medicine, business, and education.

For ATU, the recognition of its ten students in this year’s awards is an important milestone and an encouragement for others to aim higher. The achievement of these students is a proud moment for ATU and a reminder of the University’s commitment to supporting learners in reaching their full potential.
