However, recent developments have altered that balance. According to the Ghanaian man, policy changes affecting Nigeria and Gambia have reduced their eligibility pool, leaving Ghana and Liberia better positioned for diversity-based selections.
As a result, opportunities that would normally be spread across multiple countries may now be concentrated among fewer nations.
In his view, this shift significantly improves Ghana’s chances, particularly for competitive, fully funded programmes that prioritise geographic diversity.

US fully funded scholarships outlook
While the outlook appears promising, emphasis was placed on preparation and discipline.
The Ghanaian man stressed that competition remains intense despite improved odds. Strong academic records, compelling Statements of Purpose, and well-structured applications were highlighted as non-negotiable requirements.
He encouraged prospective applicants to act with urgency, noting that timing, clarity of goals, and attention to detail could determine success or failure. According to him, opportunity alone is never enough without a good strategy and commitment.
Although the situation stems from unfortunate constraints faced by neighbouring countries, the moment presents a rare opening for Ghanaian students.
