The Dalai Lama Trust is absolutely overjoyed to announce the recipients of our undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships for the year 2022. The Dalai Lama Trust Scholarship was envisioned and created to offer some financial support to Tibetan students pursuing higher education. The Dalai Lama Trust Scholarship is funded mainly by public offerings made to The Dalai Lama Trust and on that note, we would like to thank all our donors who have allowed us to successfully implement our scholarship program which provides scholarships to approximately 100 undergraduate students and 5 postgraduate students annually.

Our office has implemented a meticulous process to arrive at our final list of students. Immediately after the application deadline, we began the process of collating the information, checking it and sorting it into various categories in our Scholarship Repository, which stores and presents the data in an organized manner that is easy to visualize. The next step involved rigorous checking of the documents uploaded by the applicants and the documentation of our salient data points. An additional verification process was implemented this year. In past years, students have been required to verify certain information from their respective schools or their settlement offices. This year the Dalai Lama Trust decided to contact the above institutions directly in the verification process. This change was implemented to make the application process shorter and easier for the students and the institutions. This process allows the trust to personally verify the information and catch any errors along the way.

We received a total of 135 applications for our undergraduate scholarship. Subsequently, we checked for and removed any duplicate applications, incomplete applications, unqualified applicants, unverified documentation or voluntary withdrawals.

For our postgraduate scholarship, we received a total of 13 applications for our postgraduate scholarship. We checked for and removed any duplicate applications, incomplete applications, unqualified applicants, unverified documentation or voluntary withdrawals.

The organized, checked and verified data is then presented to the selection committee which comprised of 5 members this year. The selection committee then began the selection process based on the scholarship guidelines. A total of 91 final applicants were selected for our undergraduate scholarship and 9 total applicants were selected for our postgraduate scholarship.
