Student Selection Announcement 2018
One hundred seven students have been selected for financial support in the 2018-2019 academic year.
We are excited to announce that 107 students have been selected to receive financial assistance from NCEF during the 2018-2019 school year.
Student selection is at the core of NCEF’s mission to ensure that students in need receive the financial assistance to cover their school-related expenses. The process of student selection has been informed by more than 15 years of operating in Nepal, each year selecting students and administering this program.
This year, the selection committee had three members: Maheshwor Kafle, Subarna Dhital, and Bhusan Neupane. These volunteers work as a group to ensure that the student selection process is fair and completed in a timely manner. These volunteers read through many applications, sort through heaps of information regarding academic and financial standings, and discuss candidates amongst themselves to make a final selection. Their work is supported by many volunteers in both Nepal and the US. These volunteers assist with the logistics of application collection, verifying information, or obtaining needed data that is missing from applications.
Students must meet minimum academic requirements and must have financial need in order to be eligible for assistance from NCEF. These criteria are well-defined and posted publicly on the NCEF website.
This year, the team interviewed 65 new applicants and selected 3 new students in Sunsari and Lamjung, 6 in Bajura (1 and 2), 4 in Kawasoti/Nawalparasi, and 5 in Gorkha. We started a new area in Lamjung and 2 new areas in Bajura in addition to our existing areas in Sunsari, Nepalgunj, Sankhuwasabha, Nawalparasi, and Gorkha. The committee also reviewed applications for 87 renewal applicants. We are happy to report that all of our students have been promoted to the next grade and therefore we will be renewing all our assistance for those students. Congratulations!
We want to thank the donors who make this great work possible. We are as excited as the students to help this cohort continue on their academic journey.
