We are excited to announce two scholarships now available for the CIPA Nepal Heritage School 2026, which is happening January 15-19, 2026 in the scenic city of Pokhara, Nepal.

The MIRAI Foundation is proud to support the upcoming CIPA School by offering a full scholarship to cover the registration fee for one international participant. Rooted in innovation and cultural preservation, MIRAI’s mission is to empower emerging professionals in the digital heritage field. Founder & CEO, Margarita Skamantzari—Co-Chair of the CIPA Heritage Documentation Emerging Professionals—will also join the CIPA School as a tutor once again.

The second scholarship will also cover the full registration fee and is offered to one participant from a developing country. This opportunity is sponsored by Derek AR Moore, PhD, FAIA, and co-founder of the Cultural Heritage Finance Alliance (CHiFA).

The organizing committee thanks both of our sponsors for providing this opportunity to prospective participants.
