I only have savings in the form of a car which I intend to sell for $5000 for my retreat. I generally have only worked in lower income jobs, and my personal business is very small. I am, however, from a generally successful family and community, from whom I will generate some support. I am confident that I will be getting one or two principle donors, and this scholarship award would go a long way in explaining and bolstering my value to the people in Panama who are almost exclusively non-Buddhists. +
Personal savings approx. $3000.00. No familial, or friendship based financial support, or other types of financial assistance. Presently, researching additional means of resources. +
2134 $ per month pension
Possible GoFundMe (crowdsourced donations) +
I receive Social Security and a pension from the City and County of San Francisco. +
So far I will rely on my (not substantial) personal savings for extra expenses. Nancy Huszagh, the drupon, has mentioned something about other scholarship possibilities though we haven’t followed up on that yet. Depending on the USD to CAD exchange rate the Tsadra scholarship of $1,000/month could be enough for the base amount of CAD$1,200/month. So far I have no sponsors or donors. +
I have personal finances of disability benefit which I can pay £3,075 up until May 2025 and I have applied for a sponsor for the other amount of £1,200 from the Khyentse Foundation for one year of which I have not yet received a confirmation. A Dharma friend has also offered a small amount of sponsorship but the amount is yet to be confirmed. +

I just started a part time job at $27 an hour, and I have $2k savings I am putting towards the retreat cabins which have not yet been built, hence the total cost including a Retreat dome from Pacific Domes, as well. That will be partially paid for by me and the rest by my precious Guru. +
Je n'en n'ai pas . C'est moi qui doit aider mon fils, pas de salaire fixe et je lui laisse la charge d'entretien de toute ma maison, de la voiture que j'espère retrouver en bon état aussi (pas d'économie pour en acheter une neuve et on ne me prête plus car je n'ai pas assez de pension de retraite) et du chat !
J'ai déménagé souvent (père militaire puis par l'Education Nationale : mutations) et je n'ai plus de famille proche à part mon fils ( tous décédés ou on ne se parle plus depuis des années car on n'arrivait plus à se voir, contacts perdus)
Mes seuls amis maintenant sont à Karma Ling et on a prévu un appel aux donateurs bientôt pour tous les retraitants mais à cette date le processus n'est pas encore lancé. +
Approximately $3000 in savings; family support as needed +
My current retreat July 2022 - Dec 2025 has been funded entirely by Friends, Family and Sangha, many of whom are of limited means and have made considerable sacrifices to support me. Many are practitioners themselves and are not in a position to support me again. I will not burden such generous, kind-hearted people any further, making the Tsadra scholarship vital if I am to continue practicing at Gomde Pyreneese. +
Since I have been a full-time student for most of the last decade, I do not currently have a robust savings account. I also do not descend from a wealthy family and while they are supportive, they are not able to significantly contribute to this retreat. The reason I have waited until now to apply is in order to find paid work and calculate what I may be able to contribute from own side, as I am starting from zero. While 30,000 euros would cover most of the retreat expenses, I am relying on my own savings and the support of family and friends to cover the remaining costs as well as my personal expenses here in the US during that time, which include property taxes and insurance on a small retreat cabin in upstate CT. Additionally, one member of the sangha has pledged to offer me a monthly amount of 300 euros to cover health insurance, visas, and incidentals. Another has offered a small lump sum to help cover monthly bills in the U.S., and I am hoping to have some money saved from my side for offerings and post-retreat transition +
I have some personal savings which I am willing to spend if necessary, but as a monk I make very little money. My mother is willing to support me partially, but not fully. She will contribute up to four thousand dollars if a full sponsorship for my retreat is not available. +
Personal savings and sponsors from my Sangha in Belgium will help me to pay for my health assurance, the shrine items and the six first months of the retreat, if this cannot be covered by Tsadra. +
I will work during the months in between this three year retreat and the next one in order to pay for my extra costs (donations, health assurance etc.). +
B
hoping for family support and a few friend's, but not sure yet +
I was released from prison in 2017, and I don't have sources of financial support. I worked as a manager in a beach cafeteria/club these past three summers and have made enough money for yearly expenses and to cover travel costs when I go to meet the teacher. +
I have personal savings of about USD 15,000. My current monthly income is in the form of allowance of USD 1,400.
I do not have other means of financial support. +
I have a modest amount of money from the last job I did and my family don't support me. +

As the advice of H.H. the Sakya Trizin to go into a three year retreat came as a very surprise, I have not yet been able to save money, but I hope to work and save some money in Germany, especially to cover the extra expenses for a health insurance. +
100 Euros per month (approx) from family help and savings +
