The KET is delighted to announce that we are launching a new initiative. We are presently still waiting for the KES’s licence to be renewed, which will allow us to re-commence our Scholarship programme in Nagaland. In the meantime, we are planning to set up a bursary scheme offering financial assistance to tertiary level students of recent Naga heritage who are resident outside India, with a focus on those studying in the UK. The bursary support will prioritise STEM subjects and professional qualifications in the trades and services sectors.
Thanks to the enormous generosity of one of KET’s supporters, we are able to launch this new programme early in 2025. We aim to reach out to the diaspora of young Nagas already living abroad who may benefit from financial assistance in order to complete their studies.
Recognising the cost of education in the western world, we have set each bursary at a total of £3,750, which is 10 times the cost of a 3-year scholarship we were awarding in Nagaland. This is a very large amount for a donor to consider, so to make the bursary amounts achievable we would be delighted to receive donations that can cover a part of a bursary to match the amount a donor wishes to contribute. The bursary will be paid to the successful applicant on a prorated basis across the terms or semesters of their course.
