Khyentse Foundation Individual Practice Grants

Individual Practice Grants are open to the public and aim to support students who wish to practice in a Buddhist tradition. Khyentse Foundation practice grants are awarded for one-year terms. Grant recipients may apply each year for continuing support to fund longer-term retreats.

Grant award amounts depend on the scope of the proposal. Full funding of proposals is not always possible, and partial funding may be offered to some applicants. KF is able to offer practice grants because of the generosity of their donors. Please keep this in mind and request only what you need.

Award Information

• Buddhist Studies Scholarship awards are usually in the $500 to $5,000 USD range. Awards may be more depending on the proposal.

Eligibility Criteria

• KF accepts applications from practitioners and retreatants from all traditions, schools, and sects of Buddhism.

Ineligibility Criteria

• Your application will not be considered if:
  • Your application is written by AI. They want to know about you and your aspirations, practice and studies. Please do not use OpenAI, ChatGPT or any AI program to write your application. If they suspect your essays are written by AI, your application will be rejected. A sincere application means more than a well-written one.
  • Your application is not related to Buddhism or Buddhist activity.
  • You have already applied for a scholarship or grant in this round.
