The Conservancy for Tibetan Art and Culture

In May of 2009 CTAC funded the first group of 8 scholarship students from remote Himalayan villages. The students are studying at Namgyal Middle School in Kathmandu. They are studying English, Nepali and Tibetan language. In keeping with His Holiness’ wishes, students are placed in schools where they will receive an education that emphasizes traditional cultural values and contemporary education standards. The Conservancy will raise funds to send an additional 10 students per year. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has shown his commitment to this program by instructing the Tibetan Children’s Village schools to admit 10 Himali Buddhist students per year for the next five years, for a total of 50 students.
