Dear students,

Every year, Loden Foundation provides scholarships for young Bhutanese to pursue undergraduate studies within or outside Bhutan. Through this scholarship we hope to help youth with exceptional merit from low-income families avail further education.

We know that graduating from high school, often referred to in Bhutan as the ‘turning point,’ is the most crucial phase of your life and it can be quite stressful. Therefore, we are delighted to share undergraduate scholarships for this year. In addition, this year we are also introducing our ‘Apprentice Programme’ where we wish to also support useful trainings and diplomas involving apprenticement and hands on learning.

If you are considering to apply for our scholarship or a training opportunity, you must clearly explain your personal ambition, choice of subject/course and financial need. Remember, we are looking to support students who demonstrate strength in the specific field of study, economic need and pursue degrees or courses, which can fill employment gaps in Bhutan.

The detailed information is available on our website at www.loden.org and if you need additional assistance, contact Mr. Penchela at 7719-5588 (during office hours) or email him at application@loden.org

We wish you all the best of luck!

Thanking you,

Yours truly,

The Management

Loden Foundation
