Buddhist Studies Scholarships
Khyentse Foundation Buddhist Studies Scholarships support individuals who wish to study the dharma. KF accepts applications from students, practitioners, and scholars from all traditions, schools, and sects of Buddhism. These scholarships fund tuition or other expenses related to one’s studies. Applicants for this scholarship are usually working toward an BA, MA, or MPhil degree, or are in a certificate program.
Students applying to Rangjung Yeshe Institute (RYI) in Nepal must apply directly to RYI. KF gives RYI an annual grant to use for financial aid for ordained sangha, lay students, and work-study participants. For more information, go to https://www.ryi.org/students/financial-aid.
