Khyentse Foundation Grants
Khyentse Foundation provides a number of opportunities for individuals and groups to receive funds to further their dharma studies, practice, and activities. We have also partnered with many leading institutions to establish scholarship and academic award programs. In the non-sectarian spirit of the Khyentse lineage, we accept applications from Buddhist teachers, students, scholars, translators, practitioners, retreatants, from all traditions anywhere in the world. Committees appointed by Khyentse Rinpoche work together throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia to review each application.

Ashoka Grants
Many people are seeking ways to preserve and promote the Dharma and working to increase Dharma activity around the world in creative and long-lasting ways. For requests that fall outside the criteria for Buddhist Studies Scholarships, Individual Practice Grants, or other awards, Khyentse Foundation has created a fund for special project grants.
This program identifies and supports organizations and individuals working to increase Dharma activity around the world. Have you written a Buddhist short story for kids? We’d like to read it. Do you have a proposal for research on a Buddhist topic, a Buddhist television program, or some other activity? Tell us why your idea would help the Dharma flourish.
The Ashoka Grants Committee considers applications from a broad array of organizations and individuals who are actively engaged in projects related to Buddhism. The only applications that are not considered are applications requesting funds for building and construction projects; applications that are incomplete or that do not adequately explain the scope of the project; and applications that have no relevance to Buddhism or Buddhist activity.

Grants for Educators
Educators are encouraged to apply for any of the grants and scholarships Khyentse Foundation offers. We are seeking opportunities to support the publication of children’s books, camps, after-school programs, studies on contemplation, and study and practice grants for educators. To apply, use one of the regular forms and state how the grant relates to education. A special education steering committee reviews the applications.

Khyentse Foundation Work as Practice Scholarships is intended to support people who wish to acquire the practical skills they need, such as accounting or management, to benefit a dharma centre, monastery, or sangha. These scholarships are intended to help the sustainability of a dharma community, and applicants should plan to use their new skills for that purpose.
