Gideon Boako opens 2026 scholarship applications for Tano North

Dr. Gideon Boako, the Member of Parliament for Tano North, has officially launched the application process for the 2026 Gboako Scholarship scheme. This initiative is specifically designed to provide critical financial relief to tertiary students residing within the Tano North constituency, reflecting the MP’s stated commitment to enhancing educational access for his constituents. The opening of the applications marks the start of a new cycle for the fund, which aims to bridge the gap between academic ambition and financial capacity.

The scholarship program, which commenced its current application window on November 1, seeks to help families manage the rising costs associated with higher education. According to Dr. Boako, the scheme was established to alleviate the financial pressure on parents and guardians, ensuring that talented students are not forced to abandon their studies due to a lack of funds. The MP noted that the program has already seen significant success, with 127 students from various communities across the constituency benefiting during its inaugural year.

Prospective applicants are required to submit their details through the official online portal, which is now live for the 2026 academic year. Dr. Boako emphasized that the selection process is designed to be transparent and merit-based, specifically targeting students who demonstrate both academic potential and a genuine need for financial support. By digitizing the application process, the scholarship secretariat aims to streamline submissions and ensure the opportunity is accessible to all eligible candidates in the district.

This educational intervention forms part of a broader strategy by the Tano North MP to invest in the human capital of the region. By prioritizing the education of the local youth, the scholarship scheme is expected to produce a new generation of professionals who will contribute to both local development and the national economy. Eligible students have been encouraged to visit the program's website to complete their applications and secure funding for the upcoming academic session.
