At TCEF, we continue to ask these questions: With the changing times, what are some real needs of Tibetan education in exile? Where can we make a difference for them?
The Tibetan population in the subcontinent is steadily decreasing due to interesting socio-economic trends and factors. Thanks to the efforts of HH The Dalai Lama and the early Tibetan leadership in exile, we have a good school infrastructure. In fact, at this time we may have more schools than we need! But, every year, hundreds of Tibetan students graduate from the Tibetan schools in exile. A high percentage of these students cherish hopes for a college education. We believe this is an excellent trend that can help them land good jobs in the Tibetan communities or even in the larger Indian job market. We think that helping needy and deserving Tibetan students access college education is worthwhile. We hope to complement and collaborate with the Tibetan Government in Exile and other organizations working for Tibetan education in exile.
Every year a few students graduate school from our oldest partner organization Kyitsel-ling Tibetan Children’s Education Center, N India. We’ve been able to find sponsors to support their college education. Moving forward we would like to help more deserving students who need help.
The cost of college education in India varies greatly depending on several factors. TCEF college sponsorship is $100 a month.
