The WTA scholarship is funded under WTA to promote and encourage WTA Tibetan ancestry students pursuing higher education. Awards vary each year depending on funds raised from events such as Brat Fest and donations received. The scholarship is managed by the Scholarship Board Members representing WTA executive members, Saturday Tibetan school staff and one or more members of the WTA. Prior scholarship recipients may apply, however priority will be given to new applicants due to limited funds. Award(s) will be announced by September 2nd, 2024.
