Who We Are
The NOSA Scholarship Fund was founded on a simple but powerful principle: paying it forward. Established in 2007 by alumni of Namasagali College in Kamuli, Uganda, NOSA Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built on a shared legacy of academic excellence, leadership, and service. Though our alumni community now spans the globe, we remain united by a common purpose : to invest in the next generation of Ugandan leaders. Since 2008, we have provided financial support to talented yet underprivileged undergraduate students across Uganda, ensuring that economic hardship does not stand in the way of academic achievement and future impact.
Our Vision
To establish a sustainable support system that empowers vulnerable individuals through education and life skills. We aim to recapture the spirit of Namasagali College while fostering a compassionate, innovative charitable organization that creates lasting social impact in Uganda.
- Empowering underprivileged youth and orphans
- Fostering sustainable community solutions
- Promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities
Our Mission
To empower Uganda’s brightest undergraduates by removing financial barriers and locking their full potential. We believe talent is universal opportunity is not.
