With this number, because the word is scholarship and we want to increase transparency and meritocracy, you go through an online aptitude test.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as your online application is successful, you will receive an SMS or email saying your application is successful and that you have been processed to the next stage which is the aptitude test stage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><b>Aptitude test<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mr Agyemang said as soon as an applicant passed the aptitude test, he would be notified to proceed to the district he selected when processing the application to appear before the District Scholarship Review Committee.<\/p>\n<p>He said the secretariat initially had just one computer and a printer, adding that the state of affairs at the secretariat under President Nana Add0 Dankwa Akufo-Addo had improved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the kind courtesy of the President, a lot of interventions have come in.
