Helping Zomi students around the world take the next step

What we value

We want to hear your story

Every student comes with different opportunities, responsibilities, and hopes. We want to get to know you through your education, the ways you serve the Zomi community, and what you hope to do next.

  1. Your dedication to learning

    Tell us about the work you’ve put into your education, the achievements you’re proud of, and the challenges you’ve worked through. We value curiosity, persistence, and the desire to keep learning.

  2. How you care for our community

    Helping a younger student, translating for a neighbor, or bringing people together can make a real difference. We want to hear about the ways you’ve supported the Zomi community and the people you’ve helped.

  3. Your hopes for the future

    What do you hope your education will make possible, for you and for our community? Tell us how you’d like to build on what you’ve already done and continue helping others in the years ahead.

We give each of these three areas equal consideration. Read the full scholarship guidelines.
