Financial Aid

Daakhla is not-for-profit — this fee covers running costs, never profit. The Rs 5,000 fee is already heavily subsidised. Financial aid is reserved for absolute cases only — we can waive the fee only when a family genuinely cannot pay even this amount, and to confirm that we will speak directly with your parents. Separately, if you cannot afford your SAT registration fee or your university application fees, we may help cover them — but only as far as the donations we receive allow.
