Since its inception, Trace Foundation's greatest commitment has been to strengthening the educational system in Tibetan areas of China. Education offers not only the opportunity for material advancement and economic development; it also plays a vital role in enriching the quality of everyday life. In many communities, however, poverty plays a significant role in constraining individuals' attempts to gain an education.
Recognizing this vital need, since 1999 Trace Foundation
has offered scholarships to promising individuals committed to
improving the quality of life in Tibetan areas. In order to implement
a systematic approach to student support, Trace Foundation launched
the Tibetan Medium Higher Education Scholarships Project (TMHES) in
2005. A six year initiative, this program provides scholarships for Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and Professional Training programs to
individuals committed to the development of Tibetan areas of China.
By the end of 2010, within a five-year period, we have supported in various formats over 2615 individuals for higher education studies. Of these, about 334 individuals were directly selected and supported, including 25 individuals supported for postgraduate degree studies at universities outside of China, 367 undergraduates supported through partnerships with relevant higher education institutions within China, and through active cooperation from relevant senior middle schools, about 1914 senior middle school graduates supported for undergraduate studies at domestic higher education institutions.
Apply now for Postgraduate and Professional Training Scholarships.
Deadline for submission of pre-screening material: March 1.
