At a young age, Bikash and Kumari Regmi left their native Bhutan, and spent the next 17 years in Nepal refugee camps. Given their history and ability to relate with the experiences of the refugees, Bikash and Kumari have both volunteered their time interpreting and with various medical efforts in the community.

    The scholarship provides $500 to a high school senior or college student of Asian American and Pacific Islander descent who is passionate about healthcare. Deadline to complete this form is May 12, 2024. Thank you for completing the Bikash & Kumari Regmi Scholarship. We will notify applicants by May 14, 2024.
