The Tibetan Scholarship Program (TSP) is one of the most prestigious scholarship programs for Tibetans in exile. Over the last three decades, TSP has produced more than 488 graduates in different fields of study. TSP alumni have been serving the Central Tibetan Administration and other Tibetan organisations and have become the Tibetan community in exile’s vital source of human resources.

The TSP program is funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), and is administered through a Cooperative Agreement with The Tibet Fund (TTF), in collaboration with the Central Tibetan Administration’s Department of Education (DoE).
