Scholarships for Seva

KRI is committed to making our courses as widely available as possible and we have a Scholarship Fund for each of our programs. Through KRI’s scholarship fund “Scholarships for SEVA”, we are offering a number of application opportunities. 

The intention is to help people around the world that need financial assistance to enroll in the program and continue their Teacher Training.

KRI offers a scholarship program that allows recipients to take the course and “pay it forward” by giving back to their communities through a service project that incorporates teachings and tools from the course.

Applicants will be asked to propose and briefly describe a project they will then develop within their community as a way of sharing the teachings.

Some examples of this are:

  • Teach 10 classes on a topic related to the course material
  • Lead a workshop in your workplace on the benefits of meditation
  • Write an article on the course topics to share with your community
  • Do an in-depth research paper to share with KRI’s community of trainers, teachers and students


These are some ideas, but the possibilities are endless and aligned with your own creative flow.

COVID restrictions have changed and keep changing. To enter Bali, you either need to be fully vaccinated or if not fully vaccinated then you need a medical exemption letter.

  1. Fully Vaccinated   

Travelers who are fully vaccinated can enter Bali with proof (digital/printed) of Covid Vaccination, (the last dose must be taken 14 days before traveling to Indonesia). Indonesia does not look at the vaccination dates, just the number of vaccinations.

Fully vaccinated: 2 or more doses. (Johnson & Johnson counts as 2 doses).

  1. Unvaccinated (only with medical exemption letter)

Unvaccinated travelers can enter Bali, Indonesia only if they are medically exempted (comorbidity diseases or other reasons that clearly state that for medical reasons they can not be vaccinated).

You need a medical statement letter from a doctor explaining the medical/health conditions and reason for vaccination exemption.

You can not enter Bali, Indonesia if you choose to be unvaccinated because of personal choice (other than medical conditions).

  1. One Dose (only if recovered)

If you received only one dose due to recovering from Covid-19, you must have a recovery certificate explaining that you are not actively transmitting Covid-19. You can not travel to Bali without a recovery certificate if you only received 1 dose of vaccine.

Airlines: Regulations can change and some authorities and airlines might be stricter than others in enforcing the regulations. Sometimes airlines even struggle to stay up to date and might ask for documents, that are effectively not necessary anymore. Please make sure to check also your airline’s requirements for traveling to Indonesia.
