Ten more students received scholarships on October 30 at a ceremony in Accra. MyJoyOnline reported the awards on November 3, 2026. The Sanjeev Mansotra Foundation gave them through its partnership with Drive to Inspire–Africa. An earlier group of 10 was awarded in April, so this partnership now covers 20 students. Founder Nana Adjoa Hackman said the wider program has grown from 17 scholars at the start to 70 in Ghana and Uganda. This cohort is the first under the partnership to include young men as well as young women.

Ganesh Umashankar, representing the foundation, told the students to use the chance to give something back to their communities. One of the new scholars, Rosemary Ofori, is a student at the University of Ghana. She thanked both organisations. The partnership also leaves a door open to the University of Stirling's campus in Ras Al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates, but only if a student meets the entry rules and is admitted. The report does not say that any of these 10 have that place yet. The news is the Accra ceremony and the count of scholars already supported.
