About This Opportunity
The Navy Wives Welfare Association Scholarship for Children of Deceased Naval Personnel is a welfare scheme administered by the central NWWA, the welfare wing of the Indian Navy. The scheme provides financial assistance towards the education of children whose parent serving in the Indian Navy is deceased, helping bereaved naval families continue their children's schooling and higher studies.
The scholarship is open to dependent children of deceased naval personnel. Applicants apply through the widow or guardian, who must furnish details of the relationship with the deceased naval personnel, particulars of all dependents, and information about each school-going child for whom assistance is sought.
The application is made on a prescribed form available through NWWA and the National Portal of India. The form requires a self-declaration from the applicant and an attestation from the school or college confirming the child's enrolment and academic status.
