The Presidential and National Scholarships Department, operating under the Office of the President and Cabinet, has announced the opening of registrations for the 2025/2026 academic year.
This initiative is aimed at supporting academically talented yet disadvantaged students.
The program primarily targets students from rural schools in remote areas across the country’s 10 provinces. Eligible candidates will have the opportunity to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate studies in a variety of fields.
Permanent Secretary for Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana, confirmed the announcement on his X account.

“By the way, the official Call for Presidential and National Scholarships Registration for the 2025/2026 Academic Year is now open. It seeks to assist disadvantaged yet academically gifted students, primarily from rural regions in the country’s 10 provinces.
The program supports those intending to study at foreign universities in disciplines such as Engineering, Health Sciences, Science and Technology, Agricultural Sciences, Business, Sports, and Social and Human Sciences,” Mangwana stated.
The launch of the scholarships comes in the wake of a fraudulent advertisement that recently circulated on social media. The Presidential and National Scholarships Department has since dismissed the fake advertisement and reassured the public of the authenticity of this new call for applications.
