Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme - Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme

What you get

During its duration, this programme funded a one-year postgraduate course abroad: a Master’s or postgraduate degree at partner universities in the UK, Ireland or France. It covered tuition fees and living costs. It also included six-month technical training courses in Ghana, as well as shorter vocational courses. Tullow Oil funded the programme to build up skills in the host countries, particularly for the oil and gas industry.

How to apply

This programme has been discontinued. Tullow Oil and the British Council brought it to an end in 2016, and there are no plans for future overseas scholarships. The scholarship holders from cohorts 2014–2016 and 2015–2017 have completed their studies, but no new applications have been accepted since then.
