In 2006, NYOF supported 200 college students. Most study at the national university, and their fields of study range from forestry to humanities to computers. Several are medical students, and a number of them are blind.
Our children's counselor carefully checks the stories of the young adults who apply for college scholarships. We give some priority to women, the disabled, and applicants of low-caste, since these groups are severely disadvantaged in Nepali society.
Many of our college scholarship students have entered social service professions. For instance, one of the first boys to receive a scholarship from NYOF in 1985, Krishna Gurung, who himself suffers from a disability, is now a teacher for the disabled. He brings needy disabled students to NYOF's attention, and helps them in various ways during their schooling. For more stories about NYOF graduates, click on NYOF Kids Giving Back.
