The scholarship is intended for those persons who may be unable to attend the academy due to remoteness of their local community; financial difficulty; adversity or some physical or other disability.

The scholarship is to be awarded each year and was initiated to encourage study and research into the field of Yoga, to develop further understanding of its practices and its implications for physical and mental health; healthy lifestyle; physical, mental and spiritual development. 

Terms and conditions
The scholarship is open to all Australian citizens and permanent Australian residents. Prior experience from any yoga tradition is acceptable. Scholarship/s will be offered at the discretion of SRI Directors with input from SYA and can be available for the full 3 year Diploma course at the SYA in Mangrove Mountain, NSW, including the three year residential stay, where applicable OR as a part scholarship to complete previously incomplete studies at SYA. A small living allowance may be available if the candidate chooses to live at the yoga centre. Transport costs to and from the SYA may also be available to the successful applicant, dependent on costs and available funds. Unsuccessful applicants may reapply in subsequent years. If in any year, no award is made due to lack of suitable applications, further scholarships may be offered the following year.
