Deadline: 31-Aug-23
The Zambia Society Trust offers grants to a small number of students to pursue further studies on completion of their secondary education.
Short courses of six months and those of one or two years will be considered, also longer courses.
The Trust assists disadvantaged Zambian students to pursue educational, technical, vocational and training courses in Zambia at recognised and approved institutions.
The initial short list is drawn up by a Zambia-based advisory group, which takes into account the student’s record and circumstances, the value, cost and length of the course, and issues of disability, gender and geographical location. Final selection is completed by the UK committee.
Students are very appreciative of the assistance received from the Trust.
Priorities Areas
- The courses should normally be related to the fields of engineering, trades, technology, business, agriculture, education and medical studies (e.g. pharmacy, nursing, medicine).
Funding Information
- Because their resources are limited the maximum grant awarded for each complete year of study is usually ZK 12,000.00.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications must be for courses within Zambia at recognised institutions.
- However, grants are awarded for a maximum period of 2 years and the final two years only will be supported of a longer course. Applications for grants for more than 2 years will NOT be considered. Successful students would need to provide evidence that no outstanding fees are due to the institution.
