SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Department of Education (DoE) of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA)
oversees the education and welfare of the Tibetan refugee students from India,
Nepal and Bhutan.
Every year around 1200 Tibetan students complete Senior Secondary education
(Class XII) and opts for higher studies in various colleges and universities in
India.
As counselled by His Holiness and also considering the need of professionals in
CTA and Tibetan communities, the Department of Education (DoE) has taken the
initiative to provide scholarships for students pursuing professional college
degrees and research courses.
The scholarships are mostly awarded on a merit basis, but we also take special
consideration for students from low-income families. The program rewards
excellent students and supports underprivileged students.
With a high need for such financial assistance, the DoE is endeavoring to raise
fund for such aid from various supporters around the world.
An annual contribution of US $ 1000 per child supports their higher studies. The
DoE has also launched a Scholarship Endowment Fund, where an individual, group
or an association can make a one-time contribution of US $ 10,000/ towards a
scholarship for one Tibetan student to pursue higher education. It is envisaged
that the interest accrued from the above-mentioned amount will comfortably
provide scholarship for one student for higher studies.
Whenever the Department of Education receives scholarship offer from colleges
and universities from India and overseas, an announcement is made through the
official website and social media pages. It is also sent to all the Tibetan
settlement offices and schools in India, Nepal and Bhutan.
The DoE scholarship Committee headed by Education Kalon (Minister) is the main
decision-making body for all the scholarships program. All the decisions and
selections are made as per DoE scholarship rules and regulation.

SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

The Department of Education of Central Tibetan Administration firmly believes
that every Tibetan child living in exile should receive basic education. As
highlighted in the Tibetan charter, our ultimate aim is to provide free
education up to grade 12.
Our aims and objectives are:

1. To provide universal basic education for all
2. Install and imbibe Tibetan culture and identity
3. Become responsible human beings based on the principle of universal
responsibility

As per His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s vision and aspiration, the government of
India has established Central Schools for Tibetans (CST) separately to give free
education to all the children. However, in 1975 CTSA asked the parents to pay
the children’s boarding fees. However, many of the families were unable to do so
due to financial constraints. Keeping in view the new development and the
importance of education, the DOE established the scholarship program. A program
through which sympathetic individuals and agencies can assist in providing free
education to our children through their generous fund. 

With the kind and generous support, the number of children in our schools
increased with many able to graduate and pursue their college studies.

Sponsoring a Tibetan refugee child provides free education along with other
amenities such as food, tuitions, uniforms, toiletries and books. The children
who benefit from the sponsorship program are those deemed most needy as per the
background of the family. We accept a donation of US$30 per month per child
(one-time donation of US$360). An official receipt, along with an
acknowledgement letter and information of the particular child, will be provided
upon the receipt of the donation. 

Since its establishment, the sponsorship section has undertaken a myriad of
initiatives to improve the education and wellbeing of the children. 

Main functions of the Sponsorship Section are as follow:
 
1. Admission of children from the Tibetan settlements in Nepal, Bhutan and India
in Central Schools for Tibetans (CST) after completing their Day Schools from
their respective places. We also give admission to the children from Himalayan
regions on special grounds. 
2. Find Sponsors for children, especially those from a poor financial
background. Serve as a bridge between the children and the sponsors through
letters either directly with sponsor or organizations.
3. The section also looks after the children belonging to destitute families,
children of CTA Staff including children of Members of Parliament, Judiciary,
Tibetan Army Political leaders (Dapon and Rupon) and the children under the
Three and More Child Program.
4. To send the admission announcement of the schools through settlements
offices.
5. The section provides pocket money to the needful children and covers
travelling expenses of children hailing from remote places like Tuting in
Arunachal Pradesh and Shawara in Nepal to go back home during the vacation.
6. We also give special admission to orphan and semi orphan children in Tibetan
Children’s Village and Tibetan Homes Foundation, Mussoorie based on the
recommendation letter from the settlement offices.
