"Anthony Lunch Memorial Scholarship for Postgraduate Studies in Nepal" is a scholarship set up to honour the work and legacy of Anthony Lunch, the founder of Mondo Foundation. Anthony dedicated three decades of his life to create opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people to receive a quality education.
He strongly believed that young people, through academic achievement, can be motivated and empowered to stay in their country and through their careers make an impact on their local community. His contribution to the field of International Development through projects in three continents, began in Nepal. Nepal is arguably where his work had the strongest impact, benefiting thousands of Nepalese children.
Anthony's family and friends felt it would be most fitting to continue his legacy through "Anthony Lunch Memorial Scholarship for Postgraduate Studies in Nepal" which targets Nepali youth who have a strong desire to continue Master's Level education in Nepal, but are encountering challenges, particularly financial constraints, that hinder their academic goals.
