NEDC-EEF Scholarship & Grants Programme 2022
The North-East Development Commission – Education Endowment Fund (NEDC-EEF) is intended to address the poor human development indices, high illiteracy rate and high poverty levels of the North-East.
The scholarship & grants programme is one of the Funds’ interventions in the region.
Thousands of young people are disenfranchised from the society due to the financial inability to secure any form of education. This has over the years led to dismal socioeconomic indices of the region.
The Fund is anxious to address these gaps by providing funding and access to formal and informal education opportunities. Especially for orphans, the girl child and other less privileged children.
