MZUNI Trust Fund

About the Centre

Mzuzu University (MZUNI) was modelled on the principle that it should be self-sustaining and less dependent on the Government budget. Accordingly, the Mzuzu University Act (1997) entrenched the establishment of the Mzuzu University Trust and the creation of a Board of Trustees in Section 13 of the Act. The Trust was endorsed by the Government of Malawi through a Trust Deed of May 5, 1998. It is a tool and legal mechanism through which Mzuzu University can enter into business and commercial dealings and transactions with both the public and private sectors.

Student Scholarships

The Board of Trustees established the Mzuzu University Students’ Scholarship/Loan Fund (MUSSF) in 2015 with the aim of raising funds to assist bright needy students. In 2015, approximately 80 students, who had been selected to pursue their studies at Mzuzu University, withdrew due to lack of tuition fees. Hence the establishment of this facility by the Board of Trustees.
The fund is a revolving facility to enable as many students as possible to benefit and ensure its sustainability, awards are not free handouts; but rather refundable by awardees i.e. awarded in form of loans. 58 students have so far benefited since inception in 2015. All students are eligible to access this facility as long as they satisfy the following conditions, among others: a) provide evidence of being needy, b) proof of good performance/grades and c) the student must be of good character.
