Yogic Studies Scholarships

We are pleased to offer an annual Advanced Certificate scholarship in support of our students working toward the Yogic Studies Advanced Certificate Program (YSACP) or Sanskrit Advanced Certificate Program (SACP).

Applicants must demonstrate a strong commitment to their continued studies as well as an active involvement (or desire to become actively involved) in the Yogic Studies community. We seek to support students who approach their studies with enthusiasm and focus, who will benefit greatly from financial support, and who will utilize their experience for the benefit of their peers and local community beyond the Yogic Studies environment.

Scholarship recipients will be granted 50% off of the tuition for all Yogic Studies course offerings for one year, including the YS Membership Program (monthly or annual subscription) and language courses including Sanskrit, Pali, and Hindi. Two full 100% scholarships are available—one for YSACP and one for SACP—for a stellar student who demonstrates exceptional academic potential or service to their community through their engagement with yogic traditions and Sanskrit.

All current or prospective YSACP and SACP students are eligible to apply. Students who have previously received a Scholarship are eligible to apply, however, priority will be given to new applicants.

Award recipients are additionally eligible for a YSACP or SACP application fee waiver, if they have not already enrolled in the program.

Applications for 2024 are now closed. The next application cycle will open in summer 2025. 

Students who have dedicated themselves to a life of monastic service, prayer, and contemplation within a recognized monastic community of any religious affiliation are cordially invited to apply for a monastic scholarship at Yogic Studies. Recipients will be granted 50% off of the tuition for all individual Yogic Studies course offerings, including Language programs (does not include the YS Membership program).
