An interest-free refundable grant for Shastri graduates and students of recognized Jain institutes pursuing higher studies. Once your education is complete and you are settled, you return the amount — so the next student can be helped in turn.
Unlike a one-way scholarship, this grant is built on the principle of mutual responsibility. What you receive today, you return when you can — so the next seeker has the same opportunity.
Submit your application through the dedicated portal with admission details and fee structure.
The committee reviews each case individually. Approved grants are disbursed directly to the institution or to you.
Focus on your higher studies without financial worry. Follow trust guidelines and stay in periodic touch.
After completing your studies and a 1–2 year grace period, you return the principal — interest-free.
The amount you return becomes the support for the next student in line. This is what makes the grant sustainable across generations — and it is why we ask each beneficiary to honour the commitment, not as a debt but as a gift forward.
Most education support takes one of two forms — a scholarship that creates dependence, or a loan that creates anxiety. This is a third path: dignified, mutual, and sustainable.
The amount you return is exactly the amount you receive. No interest is ever charged — the trust does not seek profit from this program.
You only begin returning the amount after your studies are complete and a 1–2 year grace period — when you are settled and able.
No rigid income thresholds. Each application is reviewed on its own merit by a committee that understands traditional studies.
Every application and approval is handled with full discretion. Your details remain confidential between you and the trust.
The grant is available to genuine students pursuing higher studies after foundational training in Jain Darshan or related disciplines.
A clear, dignified, four-step process. The dedicated portal handles everything from initial application to ongoing tracking — no paperwork chaos.

2–3 weeksThe dedicated portal walks you through every step — and lets you track your application status in real time.
The grant works because past beneficiaries return the amount, freeing it up for the next student. There is no contract that binds you in fear — only a commitment that connects you to a circle of mutual care.
The expectations below are not legal warnings but the shared understanding that keeps this program alive across generations.
The amount is granted for your stated higher education. Using it for an unrelated purpose changes the nature of the agreement.
Stay enrolled, complete your course, and update the trust on major academic milestones.
Once you are settled — typically 1–2 years after course completion — return the principal as per the agreed timeline.
If life throws unexpected difficulties, talk to us. We are flexible with sincere students — silence is what creates problems.
Misrepresentation or fraudulent claims void the interest-free terms — recovery may then include applicable interest. We trust applicants completely; this clause exists only to protect the program.
Names and identifying details have been changed to protect privacy. The journeys are real — and many of these students have already returned their grants, helping the next generation.
"I had completed Shastri, but my family could not afford a PhD. The trust's grant carried me through five years of research. I returned the full amount last year — and it now supports another student."
"After marriage, I worried I would have to give up my Sanskrit MA. The trust supported the remaining two years. I am working now and have started returning the amount in installments."
"I came from a small town with no clear path to Acharya. The trust funded the full course. I now teach at a Mahavidyalaya — and returning the grant felt like the most natural thing."
