Annual flagship program

NEPAFE Student Fellowship

In Progress
Currently awarded at:
Far-Western University, Nepal
Expanding to:
Additional universities

Each year, NEPAFE awards fellowships to two outstanding students enrolled in agriculture, forestry, environmental science, or related disciplines at Far-Western University in Nepal. The fellowship is designed to recognise academic merit, support students who may face financial barriers to completing their studies, and nurture the next generation of professionals in the fields NEPAFE champions.

This initiative reflects a core belief within NEPAFE: that the expertise of the Nepalese diaspora in Australia carries a responsibility to give back – not only to the communities we live in here, but to the students and institutions shaping Nepal’s future. We are actively working to expand the fellowship to additional universities across Nepal offering relevant programs, so that more deserving students can benefit each year.
