On 12 January 2026, the Students Financial Support Office of the University of Cape Coast organized an outreach session for Level 100 students at VALCO Hall and freshers at the College of Distance Education. The session, led by the Head of the Office, Mrs. Alice Okyere, introduced students to the UCC Scholarship for Needy but Brilliant Students, highlighting its purpose, eligibility criteria, and application process. The outreach successfully raised awareness of available financial support and reaffirmed the University’s commitment to promoting academic excellence and inclusivity.
The Students’ Financial Support Office of the University of Cape Coast held its 6th Scholarship Awards Ceremony on 24th November 2025 at the New Academic Board Chamber, recognising beneficiaries of the 2025/2026 scholarship scheme and reaffirming the University’s commitment to equitable access to quality education. A total of 220 students from the four Colleges received full or partial scholarships, with the School of Business also supporting 83 students through its development fund.

The Students’ Financial Support Office of UCC launched the Domestic Assistantship Programme on 26th November 2025 at Campus Broadcasting Services.

Speakers emphasized the programme’s role in promoting student empowerment, practical skills, work ethics, and mentorship. Resource persons also outlined the placement and monitoring processes. The launch reinforced UCC’s commitment to student welfare, financial support, and a collaborative academic environment.
To support students applying for the UCC Scholarship for Needy but Brilliant Students (2025/2026), the Students’ Financial Support Office carried out a two-part engagement: media and hall outreach. First, two ATL FM interviews—on June 14 and 16—provided details on eligibility, required documents, and common application mistakes. The second session allowed for live student questions and further clarification. On June 21, the Office visited five halls of residence: Valco (Ms. Esther Azzu), SRC and Superannuation (Mr. Andy Kwarteng), and Atlantic and Adehye (Miss Queenster Kwakyewaa). These sessions involved Q&As, step-by-step portal walkthroughs, document guidance, and on-the-spot help for students who had started applying. The engagement ensured students received accurate, practical information and direct support.
