The University Challenge is an unprecedented opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs. This challenge offers the largest entrepreneurial prize in the country, with a reward of one million Ghana cedis.

The University Challenge envisions a transformative departure from the conventional approach of obtaining degrees solely for job-seeking purposes - a pursuit that is often limited by the scarcity of job opportunities in a given economy or country. Instead, the focus is on cultivating entrepreneurs and fostering leadership and wealth creation.
