Partial scholarships are available for Pundarika-sponsored retreats. They are administered according to the following three criteria:
- Serious or life-threatening medical problems causing financial hardship;
- Students without the resources to pay in full;
- Other serious financial need.
Financial need is defined as the inability to pay the full tuition fee for the retreat, based on an individual's total financial situation (this should include assets and cash flow). The total number of scholarships and amount of each is determined on a retreat by retreat basis dependent on enrollment, facility costs, and related expenses.
If you have received a retreat scholarship from Pundarika Foundation one or more times in the past, this will also be considered with priority given to new applicants.
Scholarship applications will be reviewed by a scholarship committee consisting of the retreat Registrar, the Financial Director and one ad hoc member.
There is a mandatory deposit fee of $50.00 required at the time of scholarship application. If you are not awarded a scholarship, this fee will be either refunded to you or will be applied to your full-cost payment. All remaining retreat costs will be due by mail directly to the Registrar prior to the close of registration.
The scholarship application process will close one month prior to the closing of registration. Awards will be announced by e-mail to the applicants who best meet the criteria as outlined above, within the funds available.
