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.

- 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% tuition fee waiver for ICAG high achievers crossing into Ghana’s chartered tax qualification, covering tuition for the CITG Final Level (FL1 and FL2).

All applicants also submit a National ID to confirm age.
To retain the waiver through the CITG Final Level, you must pass every paper on your first attempt.
How to apply
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply early to be considered. The two ICAG merit scholarships share one application form; the Chartered Tax Scholarship has its own.
ICAG Merit Scholarships. Current students: an official transcript (or one from your university’s online portal, endorsed by a faculty member) and a valid student ID. Graduates: an official transcript and final degree certificate. All applicants: a National ID to confirm age.
Chartered Tax Scholarship. Your official ICAG transcript, scripts or other evidence of your pass dates, and your final ICAG certificate of completion (waived only if you completed ICAG in the most recent sitting, before the next graduation). Plus a National ID to confirm age.
