ARC Fellowship
An 11-year educational journey supporting children from the early school years through Grade 12.
Architecting a child's future
Long-term support that grows with each Fellow.
ARC Fellowship is Chakraviu Nepal's long-term educational fellowship for children facing economic and social barriers that can place their education and future at risk. It provides resources, guidance, exposure, mentorship, and opportunities to learn, grow, and make informed choices.
Education is more than staying in school or passing examinations. ARC aims to build learning foundations, create opportunities for discovery, develop confidence, and help Fellows navigate higher education, work, entrepreneurship, and life beyond school.
Four developmental phases
The fellowship evolves from foundation to transition.
ARC stands for architecting a child's future while breaking cycles that can limit it. The program is designed as an 11-year journey across four phases, adapting as each Fellow's needs, interests, abilities, and aspirations change.
- ARC-1: Foundation
Grades 2–4 - ARC-2: Discovery
Grades 5–7 - ARC-3: Direction
Grades 8–10 - ARC-4: Transition
Grades 11–12
What the fellowship includes
Education, wellbeing, and community around each child.
- Complete educational support: school and examination fees, tuition, uniforms, shoes, bags, lunch boxes, water bottles, stationery, and other learning supplies.
- Creativity, sports, and exploration: books, art and craft supplies, journals, games, and sports equipment based on Fellows' interests and talents.
- Health and personal wellbeing: personal hygiene support, wellbeing activities, and counseling support where needed.
- Mentorship and guidance: quarterly mentorship, academic guidance, confidence-building workshops, goal setting, and life-skills coaching.
- Family and community engagement: home visits, parent counseling, and annual progress reviews with parents.
- Long-term developmental support: multi-year support through Grade 12, transition support during key academic phases, and annual academic and wellbeing assessments.
Selection and onboarding
A structured, transparent, community-based process.
- School referral
Teachers and school leaders refer students with potential who are struggling financially and lack consistent support at home. - Student interaction
Meet each child to understand learning habits, interests, challenges, and aspirations. - Home visit and guardian interaction
Learn about the family environment, financial situation, and overall wellbeing. - Local government coordination
Work with ward officials and local bodies to validate information and support fairness. - Fellowship onboarding
Welcome selected students, provide a fellowship kit, and introduce them to mentors.
The archived program description says this process is intended to keep selection equitable, credible, and rooted in community realities.
