The Khyentse Foundation is accepting applications for its Academic Development Grants to help make sure that authentic Buddhist studies are conducted at the highest level of academic excellence.

Such scholarly distinction, which once existed only in Asian monasteries and dharma centers, is flourishing today at major universities around the world. To inspire students and faculty alike, Buddhist study and research programs at the university and graduate levels require teachers and scholars who are knowledgeable about the Buddha’s teachings and grounded in Buddhist traditions, and who have the open-mindedness to debate the role of Buddhism in the world today.
