About This Opportunity

    • Tips

    • Confirm Ghana's eligibility and the specific scholarship available before investing time in this application — bilateral arrangements vary and Lithuania's list of partner countries is not identical to all European scholarship programmes.
    • Lithuania's cost of living is among the lowest in the EU, making even a modest stipend go significantly further than in Germany, Switzerland, or the UK.
    • Vilnius (the capital) has a fast-growing startup and fintech scene — relevant professional networking opportunities exist beyond your academic programme if you are interested in tech entrepreneurship.
