2024 Education Grants - applications now LIVE!

Past recipients of education grants

In the twenty-six years since the Zambia Society Trust started offering education grants, we have supported well over 400 students. From one or two students a year in the early days the numbers have steadily grown and in 2023 we have forty-five young Zambians studying all over Zambia with support from the Trust. Twenty-two of them are new students this year and twenty-three are continuing from the previous year.

Applications are now open for Education Grants for courses in Zambia starting in 2024. Please take a look at our website via the following link https://zambiasocietytrust.org.uk/education-grants and scroll to the foot of that page to read the terms and conditions and download the documentation.

The closing date is 31 August 2023. The Trust Grants Committee will sit to adjudicate these during September and October and successful candidates will be contacted during November and December.

Applications must be for courses within Zambia at recognised institutions. The courses should normally be related to the fields of engineering, trades, technology, business, agriculture, education and medical studies (e.g. pharmacy, nursing, medicine). Short courses of six months and those of one or two years will be considered, also longer courses. However, grants are awarded for a maximum period of two years and the final two years only will be supported of a longer course. Applications for grants for more than two years will not be considered. Successful students need to provide evidence that no outstanding fees are due to the institution. Because our resources are limited the maximum grant awarded for each complete year of study is usually ZK 12,000.00. There is strong competition for these awards so applicants must provide clear and accurate information.
