KNUST and US partner issue warning against scholarship scams

Scholarship scams hit KNUST

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and its US-based scholarship partner, Educational Pathways International (EPI), have issued a stark warning to the public regarding widespread fraudulent activities.

A sophisticated syndicate is reportedly impersonating both institutions, offering fake admissions and bogus scholarship packages to unsuspecting prospective students.

According to a disclaimer released on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, by Dr. Daniel Norris Bekoe, Deputy Registrar of the University Relations Office, the Directorate of Student Affairs (DOSA) at KNUST and EPI have received multiple reports of these scams.

The fraudsters are reportedly offering fake KNUST admissions alongside a fabricated GH¢50,000 scholarship, supposedly from EPI. Victims are then instructed to pay an upfront fee of 15% of this ‘scholarship’ amount.

In a separate but related scheme, the syndicate is also advertising a non-existent $30,000 international scholarship for Ghanaian students to study abroad through KNUST, demanding a 10% upfront payment for this fictitious opportunity.

KNUST and EPI wish to state that Educational Pathways International (EPI) is not affiliated with these fraudulent activities in any way.

EPI has not authorised any individual, group, or third party to offer scholarships or admissions on its behalf.

Furthermore, the Directorate of Student Affairs at KNUST has not been instructed by EPI to facilitate or process any such offers.

The university is thus urging the public, especially prospective applicants, to be extremely vigilant.

They advise all prospective students to verify all scholarship offers through the official communication channels of both KNUST and EPI.

Anyone who encounters these fraudulent schemes is encouraged to report them to the appropriate authorities immediately.

“The Management of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, remains fully committed to the welfare, well-being, and academic success of our current and prospective students,” the statement said.

Prospective students are also advised to rely solely on official university channels for all admissions and scholarship inquiries to avoid falling victim to these elaborate scams.
