Scholarships

The FEZANA Scholarship Program was started in 1998 to recognize academic excellence and provide Zarathushti students in university programs financial assistance to study at institutions in the U.S and Canada. Each year, FEZANA gives more than $85,000 of scholarships in various areas. We currently offer scholarships for undergraduate studies, graduate studies, performing and creative arts, fine arts, and culinary arts.

The application portal for all scholarships opens in April of each year and closes on July 15th. Scholarships are awarded for the upcoming academic year. Apply here. (The portal is only open from April-July 15th.)

Our scholarship program is supported by generous donors. If you would like to contribute to the Scholarship Fund, please visit our Scholarship Donation page. If you would like to inquire about an endowing a scholarship, please write to Dr. Dolly Dastoor at academicscholarship@fezana.org.

The Moobed Faridoon Zardoshty Religion Education Scholarship is to be awarded to selected Zarathushti individual(s) for higher studies and research in Zarathushti religion at a recognized institution of Higher Education anywhere in the world. An independent application process is set up for this scholarship. You can apply here.

The Zarathushti Entrepreneurship Development Fund is offering (non-FEZANA) graduate scholarships and financial support for entrepreneurship with the same dates and deadlines as the FEZANA Scholarships (i.e., a July 15 deadline): https://zedf.org/.
