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 a BA, MA, or MPhil degree, or are in a certificate program. Students applying for funding to attend 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 the RYI site.
Amount Awarded
Buddhist Studies Scholarship awards are usually in the $500 to $5,000 USD range. Awards may be more depending on the proposal.
