Of these, 56 candidates sat for the preliminary tests, with 5 applicants subsequently withdrawing. The top 30 qualified candidates will proceed to the interview stage in Dharamshala on May 21 and 22, 2024.

The final 6 candidates selected will depart for the United States in 2025 following the interviews. The Tibetan Scholarship Program (TSP) is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious scholarship initiatives for Tibetans in exile.

Over the past three decades, the TSP has produced more than 488 graduates across various fields of study. TSP alumni play pivotal roles in serving the Central Tibetan Administration and other Tibetan organisations, constituting a vital pool of human resources within the Tibetan exile community.
