NOIC supports Zimbabwean government’s thrust towards ensuring continuous availability of skills to sustain national growth through the provision of a scholarship programme aimed at developing and empowering undergraduate students. The NOIC scholarship programme is a talent-based programme mainly for the underprivileged young Zimbabwean citizens, where applicants who meet the minimum criteria may be invited to an interview. This unique scholarship programme comprises a comprehensive package that covers both financial and student sustenance support throughout the student’s study period.

To speed up the selection process and to enable electronic tracking of applications received within a particular period, all applications for NOIC Scholarships are done electronically. The number of scholarships awarded each year is dependent on the availability of allocated budget for that particular year. Consequently, failure to secure a NOIC scholarship cannot be deduced to poor performance on the part of the applicant but may be a result of inadequate funds.
