It’s Official! The Bo M
Karlsson Foundation and TRIC.org are partners in the program for providing
higher education for girls with disabilities beginning 2014.
Starting in 2014, BMKF will offer higher education scholarships specifically for Nepali women with disabilities.
To date, BMKF has supported four students with disabilities — including two of our current scholarship recipients — and we have tremendous respect for their strength, courage, and achievements. These remarkable young women are passionate about their academic and professional goals, determined to serve as role models for other women with disabilities, and committed to making a difference in their communities.
With the BMKF's 10-year anniversary fast approaching, we are excited to announce our new partnership with The Rose International Fund for Children (TRIFC), a wonderful Northwest organization dedicated to helping disabled children in Nepal.
"We’re thrilled to join forces with The Rose International Fund,” says BMKF board vice-president Marilyn Mitchell.
“This partnership helps advance our mission of helping one individual at a time to change her life through higher education, and we’re eager to help Nepali women with disabilities to pursue vibrant, empowered lives. We deeply appreciate your ongoing support as we move in this exciting, new direction!"
WHAT CHANGES TO EXPECT FROM OUR NEW PARTNERSHIP
• This year, with your generous support, BMKF awarded scholarships to 21 remarkable young women in Nepal. We will continue to support all of our 2013 BMKF scholars who remain in good academic standing by renewing their scholarships until they have completed their academic programs.
• Beginning in 2014, BMKF scholarships will be specifically awarded to Nepali women with disabilities, and we will partner with TRIFC to identify and select scholarship candidates — and to coordinate and support our BMKF scholars throughout their programs.
