General Scholarship Fund
A scholarship today. A lasting fund for tomorrow.
Named scholarships go straight to needy students at Budhanilkantha School. Everything given beyond them is invested in a permanent fund whose earnings pay for scholarships — this year, next year, and long after.
Name your own scholarship
The NameYourOwn Scholarship Fund
Give $1,600 a year and it goes directly to a student’s scholarship — carrying your name, or the name of someone you want to honour.
Every donor at $250 and above is listed on a permanent plaque at Budhanilkantha School.
Why a permanent fund
Help a student now. Build for every year after.
Plan ahead, not year to year
Money raised today lets SEBS NA commit to future students before they need it, instead of running an urgent appeal every year.
Your gift keeps working
Named scholarships support students right away. Gifts beyond them are invested, and only the earnings are spent, so the fund keeps supporting students indefinitely.
Held by alumni, reported to you
SEBS NA manages the fund with a finance subcommittee and reports every year to members and named donors on performance and scholarships awarded.
How it works
From your gift to a student’s classroom
- 1
You give
A one‑time or yearly gift, or $1,600 a year for a named scholarship. SEBS NA is a US 501(c)(3), so gifts are tax‑deductible for US donors.
- 2
Named scholarships go to students
Each $1,600 named scholarship is granted to BNKS that year to support a needy student directly.
- 3
The excess is invested
Everything beyond named scholarships is invested in the permanent fund, overseen by a SEBS NA finance subcommittee. Its earnings fund more scholarships each year.
Named scholarships
Put your name — or a loved one’s — on a scholarship.
Commit $1,600 a year and it goes directly to a student at BNKS, as a scholarship in the name you choose: your own, your family’s, your batch’s, or a teacher who changed your life. Named‑fund donors receive the annual report on the students their scholarship supports.
