<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection for next year’s cohorts of Nepalese UWC<\/a> students is taking place earlier than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application forms for the two-year studies at one of the fourteen UWC’s around the world is now available. Click here<\/a> for the English version, and here<\/a> for the Nepalese version of the application forms. Or, click here<\/a> for more including a calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline is October 12, 2015<\/strong>. The selection process will be completed by December 2015<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While two years ago<\/a> we had just some offers, last year we had more than fifteen<\/a>. This year too, we have fifteen offers<\/a>, at least four of which are available for students from low socio-economic backgrounds. In other words, at least a few are offers which could be up to 100% scholarships (probably excluding travel and pocket money).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, being the US<\/a>, I will not be involved in the process at all. I would have enjoyed doing outreach<\/a> work as well as being part of the selection committee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won’t be involved in the fundraising drive either for a number of reasons. Firstly, I am in the US. Secondly, my fundraising priority<\/a> now is for earthquake-related work<\/a> COMMITTED is doing following. And thirdly, given the low level of success<\/a> with the last one, I don’t know how worthwhile it will all be were I to do it again. If interested in donating, please do so directly<\/a> to the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as I would like to help out, I can’t do much this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you know of driven, motivated youngsters who would benefit from this incredible opportunity, please pass on the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
