The Nepal Basketball Association (NEBA) has announced the launch of its 13th Talent Hunt program to develop new players. This initiative targets students who have completed their SEE exams and aims to award scholarships to 12 outstanding players for grades 11 and 12. NEBA is advancing a plan to nurture players from the school level, focusing on young athletes aspiring to build careers in basketball and represent the nation.

The program will run from April 19 to May 20 (Baisakh 6 to Jestha 6), as stated by NEBA President Bhim Singh Gurung. He explained, “Our goal is to produce top-tier players right from the school level, which is why we are conducting this Talent Hunt program.” Scholarships will be granted to the best players, with 6 boys and 6 girls receiving support to study at premier colleges for grades 11 and 12.

Gurung added, “Over the one-month Talent Hunt, the 12 most outstanding players will be awarded scholarships to attend prestigious colleges.” Last year, NEBA also provided scholarships to 12 players. This program is specifically designed for youth who aspire to build a future in basketball and represent Nepal at the national level.
