Accra, Ghana
Admissions and funding advisory for Ghanaian students, graduates and teachers. Seven study regions, the funding routes that actually pay, and a straight answer about what your profile can reach this cycle.
Why this is different
It is a fair question, and a short conversation. Someone who has not been through it cannot tell you why your statement of purpose reads like a school essay, why a funded PhD is a research match rather than an application, or what a two-year home residency rule will mean for your family in six years.
We can, because we have lived it: the application, the funding fight, the visa interview, the first winter. And we have walked many other Ghanaians through the same ground since.
“The difference between an application that gets funded and one that gets filed is almost never the grades. It is whether the person reading it can see exactly where you fit.”
The Ohene view
If your profile is not ready this cycle, we tell you, and tell you what to fix first.
Every account, password and document stays in your name. Always.
What you get
Most rejections have nothing to do with your grades. We make sure yours is not one of them.
Nobody should be paying full international fees if they do not have to.
Districts are genuinely short of maths, science and special education teachers. Most of the offers reaching your inbox are still fake.
A funded doctorate is won on research fit, usually months before any portal opens.
Where you can study
The right route is not the most famous one. It is where your grades, your field, your profession and your funding position actually line up.
The deepest funding pool in the world for graduate study, if you apply the way the system rewards.
Post-graduation work rights and the most legible route from student to permanent resident.
Twelve-month masters and Chevening, but the maths only works if the funding is real.
A PhD here is a salaried job, not a scholarship. Almost nobody in Ghana is targeting it.
No tuition at most public universities. The barrier is the blocked account and the paperwork.
Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Czechia, Estonia. English-taught, at a fraction of UK cost.
The most generous scholarship system currently open to Africans, and free to apply for.
NMC and NCLEX routes to the UK and US. Ghana is on the UK red list, which means you must apply yourself.
Not sure which?
Send your transcript, your field and your budget. We will tell you which two or three regions are realistic before you spend a cedi on application fees.
Where the cycle is right now
Almost every application we see fail was not weak. It was late. The funded places close months before the unfunded ones, and by the time most people start looking, the money is already committed.
Here is what is closing next for the 2027 intakes. If one of these is yours, you are already inside the window where preparation has to start.
Indicative dates for the 2027 intakes. Individual programmes vary, and we confirm the exact deadline for every school on your list.
Not ready this cycle?
One short email when something you care about is about to close. No newsletter, no selling, and you can leave in one click.
The method
Transcript, class, field, budget, timeline. We establish what is reachable this cycle, and say so plainly if the answer is not yet.
Two or three regions, a banded school list, and the specific funding instrument attached to each.
Statement of purpose, academic CV, research proposal. Templates are why applications read the same and get rejected the same.
Who to ask, how to ask, what brief to give them. In parallel: WES or ECE evaluation, transcripts, English tests.
For research degrees, supervisor contact before the portal opens. Then every application reviewed line by line before you send.
Comparing offers honestly, reading what your funding letter actually commits to, and preparing for the visa interview.
Who we work with
Good class, no idea how funding abroad works, eighteen months of runway. The best possible time to start.
Working, saving, and looking for a masters that pays for itself rather than a loan that follows you home.
Trained and licensed, with offers in your inbox you cannot verify. Most of them are not real.
You want a funded PhD and professors are not replying. The email is the problem, and it is fixable.
Track record
Ohene Consult is the formal version of work its founder has been doing since 2022, largely for free, through WhatsApp groups and weekly coaching sessions. These numbers are his, and they are why this practice exists.
Admission + partial scholarship
“He helped me navigate my student visa application and find a partial scholarship I did not know existed. Before joining the community I was completely lost. Now I am studying at a US university and building the future I always imagined.”
A graduate student in Texas, from Ghana
Two offers, after 47 rejections
“I applied to 47 roles and heard nothing back. He rewrote my resume and coached me on how the US job market actually works for immigrant engineers. Three months later I had two offers. The mindset coaching was as valuable as the technical guidance.”
A software engineer in California
Visa approved, first attempt
“The visa preparation was thorough and clear. He walked me through every document, prepared me for every question, and gave me the confidence to walk into that interview knowing I was ready. First attempt. Approved.”

Straight answers
More detail sits on each destination page. Anything not covered here, ask it in the consult form.
No, and neither can anyone else. Universities decide admission; consular officers decide visas. Any agency in Ghana promising a guaranteed visa is either lying or planning something you do not want your name on.
No. We are an education advisory. We do not sell flights, tours or accommodation, we do not file immigration documents for you, and we do not give legal advice. You submit your own applications, in your own name.
Routinely, at postgraduate level. A funded US assistantship waives tuition and pays a monthly stipend. German public universities charge no tuition. Chinese government scholarships often cover tuition, accommodation and living costs.
Undergraduate funding is far harder and far more competitive. We will not pretend otherwise.
Twelve to eighteen months before your intake. Deadlines for the best-funded programmes fall between December and February, so a September start means serious work begins the previous autumn. Three months out is possible, but it removes most of your funding options.
A profile review is $150 and is credited in full against anything you book afterwards. Application campaigns run from $3,500 to $6,000 across five schools, with the application fees included. Visa preparation on its own is $500.
Everything is paid in three instalments across the cycle. Full pricing is published here, because you should not have to ask.
What it costs
An agency can be paid by you, by the schools it places you with, or by both at once, and you rarely get told which. We take nothing from any school, sponsor or employer. You pay us, so we answer only to you.
Application fees are included in every campaign, and everything is paid in three instalments across the cycle.
