First, we aim to distribute our resources evenly and fairly among those in need, ensuring that more students can benefit from our programs. Second, we believe that the ability for a student to contribute to their own tuition is an essential quality that reflects their commitment and readiness for the journey ahead. Taking personal responsibility for a portion of their financial investment is a vital part of demonstrating their dedication to the path. It’s crucial that our students are financially self-sufficient, as chronic financial challenges may indicate that someone is not yet fully prepared to enact and engage in the actions that the vows of the bodhisattvic path set forth, which require a heroic level of stability and preparedness. Lastly, we have unfortunately encountered instances where the need for a scholarship has been misrepresented or abused. For these reasons, we only offer partial scholarships to those who genuinely need them. * I understand the scholarship policy and am able to pay in full.
