SCHOLARSHIPS

Our History....

Since 2004, the Kohima Educational Trust through its affiliate the Kohima Educational Society, formed by leading Nagas in 2007, has financed many projects to aid education in Nagaland such as a children’s hostel, a basketball pitch, a reference library, medical training, a Master’s Degree for a Naga teacher, a bibliography of Naga literature and a glossary of sixteen Nagaland languages.

Outstanding among these projects has been the provision of scholarships for 14 to 18 year-old Naga children, which has appealed to hundreds of British donors, led by veterans and their families, who have been moved by the Kohima Educational Trust and this exemplification of gratitude.

Our flagship scholarship programme supports young Nagas through their secondary education in Kohima and the surrounding area. Scholarships provide support towards school fees, books, travel and uniforms. For many of our scholars, some of whom are orphans or have only one parent, your support means they can stay in school for longer, thereby improving their life chances.
