Investing in Ambition
Why we offer these scholarships
To give back, and to back Ghana’s most driven future Chartered Accountants.
Inspired by the academic journey of our founder, Michael Siaw Larbi (MSL):
- At the University of Ghana Business School, completed all 16 ICAG papers (at the time) in under two years, every one on the first attempt, finishing at age 21 in his third year
- National Overall Best ICAG Candidate at the Final Level, and Overall Best at the earlier levels
- The following year, graduated with First Class Honours as Valedictorian and Overall Best Graduating Student
- Highest GPA of his year, 3.94 out of 4.0
This scholarship makes the path to becoming a Chartered Accountant more accessible. Read more about MSL’s journey here.
Today, the institution he founded is Ghana’s clear technology leader in professional education, the first and only provider with multimodal AI for professional exam students.

TASP: 40% tuition reduction
A 40% tuition fee reduction for current undergraduates with strong academic performance who do not meet the strict FLSP criteria.
- Current undergraduate under 27 with First Class Honours who does not meet the FLSP criteria
- In exceptional cases, a borderline but very strong Second Class Honours (Upper Division) with outstanding academic potential and professional promise
- Exceptional graduates who narrowly miss the FLSP criteria may also be considered
- If a TASP scholar’s final undergraduate results meet the FLSP criteria, they may migrate to the 100% Future Leaders Scholarship for their remaining ICAG studies
From a 40% reduction to a full waiver: strong final results can move you up.
CTSP: 100% CITG tuition waiver
A full 100% MSL tuition fee waiver for eligible ICAG achievers continuing to the CITG Final Levels. The scholarship recognises two routes through ICAG Level 3: completing all four papers together on the first attempt, or achieving the required marks across no more than two consecutive sittings.

To retain the waiver through the CITG Final Levels, pass every CITG paper on the first attempt.
