ZST to establish Alumni for Beneficiaries of our Education Grants programme.
The Zambia Society Trust is keen to establish an Alumni of previous recipients of grants through our education grants programme. If anyone is interested, could they please contact ZST using this email address zsteducation@hotmail.co.uk
Apart from enabling recipients to keep in touch, share experiences, assist each other and provide feedback on the grants programme members are encouraged to remain relevant to society by helping others, just as they have been helped. Beneficiaries are urged to contribute in any way they can, whether through financial support, mentorship, or community service, to ensure that the Zambia Society Trust continues assisting young men and women across Zambia in achieving their educational goals.

We believe we are among the largest international supporters of tertiary education in Zambia, having assisted over 300 students in the past 10 years at a cost of more than £200,000. The courses studied by our beneficiaries’ range widely - from purely academic disciplines to practical, vocational fields.
Details of our grants programme and how to apply for a grant for the 2027 academic year are on our website. The closing date for applications is 31 August 2026.
