Application Information

Thank you for your interest in Arasmas. Arasmas is a United States non-profit corporation that serves to fund the higher education of Tibetan refugees. Ideally, Arasmas would fund the education of all eligible students, however, funds are limited. As a result, students are asked to complete an application so they may be considered among all interested students. All applicants are considered equally and Arasmas will fund as many students as possible, depending on the funds available.
