Meteor.render(Template.try) returns a document fragment which you can insert into your page with jQuery or vanilla JS.

e.g

Template.dash.aw = function() {
    document.body.appendChild(Meteor.render(Template.try));
}

Note that you can use array-style notation if the template name is variable:

document.body.appendChild(Meteor.render(Template[Session.get("currentTemplate")]));

Alternatively, if you only want to return a variable and not an entire template:

Template.try.var = function() {
    return 'Hello';
}
Template.dash.aw = function() {
    return Template.try.var();
}
// Template.dash.aw = Template.try.var = function() {
//    return 'Hello';
// }

The commented function is probably inadequate, since you want some logic in Template.dash.aw
