Five young Ghanaians have taken a life-changing leap toward their dreams, securing full scholarships through the ALX Pathway program to study technology and business at the prestigious African Leadership College of Higher Education (ALCHE) in Mauritius.
The ALX Pathway program connects Senior High School (SHS) graduates with top universities by providing scholarships and helping them develop the skills needed for careers in technology and innovation.
This opportunity marks a defining moment in this phase of their lives; a trajectory filled with endless possibilities, growth, and the promise of a brighter future.
The five scholars, Nadia Akua Nsiah Dame, Halimatu Sadia Mohammed, Sherif Mohammed, Princess Nhyira Addai, and Arjuna Caleb Gyan, represent the hope and potential of a generation ready to shape Africa’s future.
They are part of a pool of 20 exceptional scholars selected from across the continent, a remarkable achievement for young Ghanaian talent competing for limited global scholarship opportunities.
For them, this scholarship is more than an academic opportunity; it’s a chance to rewrite their stories and inspire others to dream boldly.
ALX, a leading institution committed to equipping young Africans with the skills needed to thrive in the digital age, aims to train 2 million young people between 18 and 34 by 2030.
With over 60% of Africa’s population under 25, investing in education and career development is exclusively important for the continent’s future.
These scholarships were made possible by the Mastercard Foundation in partnership with ALX, reinforcing a shared commitment to empowering Africa’s youth through education.
The scholarship for ALCHE attracted applications from across Africa. In Ghana, 69 candidates were shortlisted, with 20 advancing to a pre-screening process.
After a competitive selection, five ALX Pathway learners were chosen.
The scholarship package includes full tuition, a monthly stipend, transportation, a personal laptop, and three daily meals, ensuring recipients can focus on their education without financial barriers.
The announcement was an emotional moment. As the recipients' names were called, cheers erupted, and many in the room, including parents, shed tears of joy.
For these families, the scholarships not only provide financial relief but also unlock a future filled with promise and opportunity.
The ALX Pathway program is redefining Africa’s future by providing SHS graduates with the opportunities they deserve.
Through partnerships with globally recognized institutions like Macalester College, Code University, ALU, the University of Chicago, Richfield, and Patten University, ALX continues to break barriers and create pathways to success for African youth.
For the five scholars heading to Mauritius, this scholarship is the beginning of a new chapter filled with growth and potential.
If this story inspires you, consider sharing it with a young person in your life, perhaps a family member, church member, or community member who has recently completed SHS.
The ALX Pathway program is open for applications, and this could be their chance to take the next step toward a brighter future.
