About the Loden Post-School Scholarship
The Loden Post-School Scholarship Scheme stands as a cornerstone initiative of the Loden Foundation, dedicated to advancing equitable access to higher education for academically gifted yet financially disadvantaged Bhutanese youth. Since its inception, the scheme has played a transformative role in nurturing future leaders, empowering them to become catalysts of positive change within their communities and the nation at large.
To date, the programme has supported more than 110 scholars from across Bhutan, enabling them to pursue their aspirations and contribute meaningfully to their families, society, and the country. Beyond financial assistance, the scholarship connects recipients to a vibrant and growing network of Loden Scholars, fostering mutual inspiration, collaboration, and lifelong support.
