Details

The Nabil School of Social Entrepreneurship (Nabil SSE) has officially called for applications for the Nabil SSE Fellowship Program 2026 as well as its social entrepreneurship Certificate Course. Launched as a flagship initiative, the fellowship is conducted in collaboration with the School of Management under the Faculty of Management at Tribhuvan University. It aims to identify, mentor, and empower aspiring social entrepreneurs across Nepal who are focused on solving local social challenges through sustainable business models.

The initiative offers two distinct learning tracks depending on the participant's goals and schedule. The main Fellowship Program is a 5 to 6 month commitment where participants attend sessions 3 to 4 days each month in collaboration with TU SOM. Alternatively, the Certificate Course runs for approximately 3 months, requiring 14 days of total contact time, and is delivered through 10 partner academic institutions nationwide.

To qualify for either track, applicants must be Nepali citizens who are at least 18 years old. The opportunity targets individuals in the early phases of starting a venture, entering the market, or planning to launch an enterprise designed for positive social change. Enrolled participants must maintain at least 90 percent attendance to graduate from the program. Interested candidates should submit their online application before the October 12, 2026 deadline.

What this means for students

This program offers university students and young graduates a practical platform to turn innovative ideas into community-focused ventures without pausing their academic progress. If you meet the age and citizenship criteria, consider applying before the October 12 deadline to gain structured mentorship from Tribhuvan University faculty and industry leaders.
