Students with special needs at the University of Ghana, Legon, have threatened to protest if the government and the Scholarship Secretariat do not resolve the ongoing delay in their bursary payments.
The Campus Association of Students with Special Needs (CASSN) has given authorities a two-week ultimatum to disburse the funds or face demonstrations.
The Association said many of its members rely solely on these bursaries to cover their tuition fees for the upcoming academic year, and the continued delay is causing significant distress.
Despite submitting the necessary documents over seven months ago, students have received no updates, with repeated follow-ups yielding the same response.
“Despite submitting our details and information over seven months ago, students with special needs have yet to receive any information regarding our annual bursary payments. Repeated follow-ups have yielded the same disheartening response: there are no funds available.”
CASSN is therefore demanding a clear timeline for the disbursement and a commitment from the government to ensure students with special needs are not disadvantaged.
The delay has created widespread anxiety and frustration among the student community, leaving them in financial uncertainty.
