Short courses of six months and those of one or two years will be considered and also longer courses. However, grants are awarded for a maximum of two years and the final two years only will be supported on a longer course. The partial grants awarded will usually cover tuition and examination fees and sometimes accommodation costs. Consideration is given to applicants who have successfully started a course but have two more years to complete.
The Trust supports young, able students to enable them to gain employment and also encourages practical courses in agriculture and trades.

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.
The Zambia Society Trust is a UK-based charity devoted to the relief of poverty, disability and sickness, the promotion of good health and the advancement of education in Zambia.
