Why we’re doing this

Continuing after Grade 10

~20

students every year

About 20 Budhanilkantha students benefit from scholarship support each year, up to Grade 10.

0

government support after SLC

Scholarship support currently runs through Grade 10. For students who want to continue at BNKS for Grades 11 and 12, additional support is needed.

Now + next

our goal

We are raising funds for five current students and building a fund to help future students continue after Grade 10.

Below are short videos from the students. They talk about what they are studying, what they hope to do next, and how scholarship support is helping them continue school. You can give once or set up a monthly contribution.

Their storiesMeet the students

Rautahat · Madhesh

Rehan Ahmed

BackgroundRehan is from Rautahat and studies at Budhanilkantha School, where he held a scholarship from Grade 5 to Grade 10. He comes from a large family in which his father is the only source of income, and most of what the family earns goes to food, healthcare and other basic needs.

Studies and goalsHe is studying A‑Level Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science. He is drawn to technology and wants to become an IT engineer.

Reason for financial assistanceWith many family members and a single earning parent, meeting both living expenses and school fees is difficult. Support would let him stay in school, focus on his studies, and move closer to being able to support his family himself.

Pawan Nepali

BackgroundPawan Nepali is from Narayan Municipality in Dailekh and is in Grade 11 at Budhanilkantha School, where he held a scholarship from Grade 6 to Grade 10. His family is a simple one whose only source of income is agriculture.

Studies and goalsHe is studying NEB Science with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. His interest is in biology and healthcare, and he wants to become a healthcare professional so he can serve people and improve the health of his community.

Bijaya Budha Magar

BackgroundBijaya Budha Magar is from Sirpachaur in Barekot Rural Municipality, Jajarkot, and is in Grade 11 at Budhanilkantha School, where he held a scholarship from Grade 6 to Grade 10. His family depends on agriculture and supports the education of Bijaya and his siblings despite real financial difficulty.

Studies and goalsHe is studying NEB Science with Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science. He is interested in computer engineering and web development, and wants to become an IT professional building better internet security and services in Nepal.

Reason for financial assistanceAgriculture brings in only a limited income, and the 2081 BS earthquake badly damaged his village and his home. Support would reduce the burden on his family and help him keep studying toward a career in IT.

Salyan · Karnali

Rajan Gharti Magar

BackgroundRajan Gharti Magar is from Salyan District and is a keen sportsman, having represented Budhanilkantha School in football, swimming and javelin. He comes from a lower‑middle‑class family; his father is the only earning member, supporting Rajan, his two elder sisters, his uncles and his grandparents’ medical costs, while his mother is a homemaker.

Studies and goalsHe is studying Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science, and plans to go into either IT or Civil Engineering depending on where the opportunities are. He hopes to build a career in a well‑paid and in‑demand profession.

Reason for financial assistanceHis father’s salary does not stretch to school fees, college and tuition costs for the rest of the family, medical bills and everyday household needs — and without help the family may have to take a loan. Support would ease that pressure and keep Rajan’s education uninterrupted.
