Buddhist Studies Scholarships

Buddhist Studies Scholarships are intended to support students who are in or plan to enroll in a program in Buddhist Studies. Work as Practice Scholarships are intended to support people who wish to acquire the practical skills they need to benefit a dharma center, monastery, or sangha, such as a degree program in accounting or management. Work as Practice Scholarships are intended to help the sustainability of a dharma community.

Khyentse Foundation scholarships are awarded for one-year terms. Scholarship recipients may apply each year for a continuing support to fund longer-term studies.

Criteria:

• KF accepts applications from teachers, students, practitioners, scholars, and translators, from all traditions, schools, and sects of Buddhism. Applications are reviewed by an international selection committee appointed by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche.
• The amount of each scholarship awarded depends on the scope of the proposal. Full funding of proposals is not always possible, and partial funding may be offered to some applications.

Scholarship

• KF Buddhist Study Scholarships generally range from US$500 to $3,000, and occasionally more, depending on the project.
