The Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple offers up to eleven scholarships for a possible maximum of $2,500.00 each. Please note that three of the scholarships do not emphasize scholastic achievement, but rather the applicant’s participation in religious and temple related activities, and a fourth is based partially on financial need. All of the awards will be presented at the annual Japanese American Community Graduation Program banquet to be held June 15, 2025 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

Please note that all applicants must be current members of TSDBT, either via family membership or a Dharma Student membership and must have paid membership dues for two years prior to the graduation of the student. Please contact the scholarship committee at for membership questions and assistance. We encourage everyone who participates in Temple activities to apply for scholarships and will do our best to work with prospective applicants to resolve any concerns related to membership.
Applications will be due Monday, April 7, 2025. Please note the following dates:
*Sunday, April 27th – Practice interviews during YBA meeting
*Sunday, May 4th – Scholarship interviews with lunch from 12:00 to 3:00.
The scholarship committee acknowledges that under certain circumstances, there may be an occasion in which the interview date and time conflict with a school-sponsored activity. Under these circumstances, an alternative method of an interview may be accepted; for example, an applicant may request to be interviewed at a different time on the same day as the other personal interviews, or if interviews are taking place in person, may request for an online interview instead. Requests for an alternative interview time or format must be made to the scholarship committee at least 72 hours prior to the interview.
