Hello Everyone,

There is an important official update from the Navy Wives Welfare Association (NWWA) regarding educational support. The NWWA Scholarship for Children of Widows of Retired Naval Personnel has been officially revised for the Academic Year 2023-24.

This scheme is specifically for the children of our veterans who passed away after their retirement.

Key Highlights of the Scheme:
  • Class I to VIII: Rs 15,000/- per year.
  • Class IX to XII: Rs 20,000/- per year.
  • No Percentage Criteria: Sabse achi baat yeh hai ki isme koi minimum percentage ki requirement nahi hai. Bachche ko sirf apne sabhi exams first attempt mein pass karne hain.
How to Apply (Application Process):

Is scholarship ke liye beneficiaries ko har saal (yearly) apply karna hota hai.
