This program exists for students who would do extraordinary work with this education and cannot afford it.
Leizu Scholars serves students whose financial situation puts regular tuition out of reach. Approved students receive a full or partial waiver. The work and standard remain the same.
What you do 承擔
Apply with a letter explaining who you are, your situation, what you want to study, and how you will use the opportunity. Most useful letters run 200 to 500 words. Specifics matter more than polish.
If approved, you make two commitments.
- Show up. Sessions follow the same scheduling, cancellation, and no show policies as every other student. Treat the slot as a serious commitment.
- The pledge. When your circumstances allow, contribute to the practice or support a future scholar. The pledge is a moral commitment, never a debt. When your circumstances remain difficult, the pledge asks nothing further of you.
Why the pledge matters The program bets on people who understand what is being offered. The pledge holds because both sides take it seriously and keeps the education open for someone else.
What I look for 擇
Need is the starting point, and the program has limited funding. I read every application carefully. Strong applications usually show that the student
- has a clear reason for applying, whether a goal, obstacle, or question
- can explain why regular tuition is out of reach
- has already shown commitment to learning, inside or outside school
- writes a considered letter
The program has no credential, age, or school enrolment requirement. I read for seriousness.

Funding 資
Leizu Scholars draws support from a portion of paying student tuition and direct donations to the Mulberry Fund. Scholar capacity follows the support available. Donations directly fund scholar seats.

Questions 問
Apply when your situation is uncertain or you have questions about the pledge. A parent, sibling, or tutor may apply on someone’s behalf. The letter should come from the person who will do the work.
