The Dalai Lama Trust is delighted to announce the recipients of its Undergraduate and Postgraduate Scholarships for 2026. Through these scholarships, we hope to help students facing financial hardship continue their education and pursue their aspirations.

Our Undergraduate Scholarship supports students who meet at least one of three criteria: those who have lost one or both parents; those who have generally performed well academically but were unable to achieve their usual standard in the Class XII examinations; and those who demonstrate responsibility, sincerity, honesty and good moral conduct.

To help students continue their educational journey, our Postgraduate Scholarship offers further support exclusively to previous recipients of the Trust’s Undergraduate Scholarship.

These scholarships are funded primarily through public offerings. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has donated to the Dalai Lama Trust. Your generosity makes this support possible and enables us to carry out a range of charitable projects, including our annual scholarship program.

Applications opened on 15 June 2026 for Tibetan students wishing to pursue degree and non-degree courses after completing Class XII. We received 53 applications for the Undergraduate Scholarship and 17 for the Postgraduate Scholarship. No applications were received for the Diploma/Vocational Scholarship.

Each application was carefully reviewed and verified. Applicants with missing documents were contacted and given the opportunity to complete their submissions before the final list was presented to the Selection Committee. Committee members reviewed the information, sought clarifications where needed and offered feedback to help strengthen the programme in future years.

Of the 53 Undergraduate Scholarship applicants, three withdrew their applications, while seven applications could not be taken forward because the required documents were not received and follow-up requests went unanswered. We are pleased to offer the Undergraduate Scholarship to 43 students this year.

Of the 17 Postgraduate Scholarship applications, one did not meet the eligibility requirements. We are therefore pleased to offer the Postgraduate Scholarship to 16 students.

This year, we also introduced the Diploma/Vocational Scholarship to support students who wish to develop practical skills and pursue careers through pathways beyond a degree. Although we received no applications this year, we hope to reach more students who could benefit from this opportunity in the coming year.

With great pleasure, we present the selected recipients of the Dalai Lama Trust Undergraduate and Postgraduate Scholarships for 2026:
