We are so happy to have supported 22 young seekers on their journeys this year.

The Sufi Ruhaniat International created the Scholarship Fund in 2006 with the understanding that supporting the spiritual development of Next Gen is vitally important to the health of the community. Our intention is to make events more accessible to younger seekers so that financial limitations don’t keep us from a deepening relationship to our own inner lives and their global manifestations.

Details for applying

The Next Gen Scholarship Fund provides financial support to spiritual seekers between the ages of 18-39 attending Sufi retreats, Dances of Universal Peace camps and other events related to their journey on the path.

Applications are reviewed by the Scholarship Committee of the Sufi Ruhaniat International Youth Council. Stipends are awarded on a rolling basis and the amount granted depends on a variety of factors including financial need and the number of applications already received. While we’d like to fund all requests, this is not always possible. We appreciate your understanding!

We encourage you to click through to familiarize yourself with the application, which requires a note of recommendation.
Your application is due six weeks prior to the event in question!
