Financial Aid Form

This form is to request financial aid to cover the cost of your membership dues, and/or courses and events. Your answers will be shared with the financial team of Mipham Shedra and will be held in the strictest confidence.

At this time, we do not offer partial financial aid for dues or programs, only full financial aid. We strongly encourage you to apply for work/study exchange, rather than for financial aid, if at all possible. Work/study options are available for distance students as well.

As there is a strong tradition in Buddhism of exchanging something of value for the teachings, it is recommended that if you do not have the funds to make a donation, you exchange your skills and abilities, rather than applying for financial aid. If you are prepared to apply for work/study exchange, please return to the Courses & Events page and click on the red button at the top labeled "Request Work/Study Exchange." Thank you!

The deadline to apply for financial aid is two weeks before the event. We will respond to your request shortly after this deadline.
