Fellowships
NEW
The Japan Program of the Council on
East Asian Studies has established
Summer Japan Travel Fellowships to nurture interest in Japan and
Japanese studies among undergraduates. These awards will allow students with a
demonstrated interest in Japan to spend a summer there either working on an
independent project, participating in an internship, or pursuing research for
subsequent coursework or for the senior essay. US citizenship is not required.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who have taken some coursework related to
Japan and who wish to build upon that exposure and interest are eligible to
apply. The funds may not be used for language study or formal coursework.
Fellows are expected to spend a minimum of eight weeks in Japan. Approximately
three awards of $6,000 each will be made annually.

Fellowships are awarded annually for advanced language study or the study of
socio-cultural topics in the language of a non-English speaking country. First
preference is given to proposals for projects in China; thereafter, elsewhere in
Asia, Africa or other regions (such as Central Asia, the Caucasus, Eastern
Europe, Russia, Latin America or the Middle East). The awards are intended to
support either advanced language study (begun at Yale or elsewhere) or
study/work focusing on socio-cultural issues in the host country. Proposals may
include either university study, independent projects, or an unpaid or
low-paying work experience. Eligible are students in Yale College who are U.S.
citizens and who will have at least Junior standing by the beginning date of the
award. Graduating Seniors are eligible to apply. The Fellowship supports 9-12
months of residency abroad.
The Charles Kao Fund supports grants to
students of Yale College (including graduating seniors), graduate students in
M.A. and Ph.D. programs in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and
graduate students in the professional schools for summer research in East and
Southeast Asia. In general, applications from international students proposing
research projects in their country or origin are ineligible. Research should
focus on the impact of technology transfer processes between Asia and the West
and/or among East and Southeast Asia, and the social, cultural, and political
transformations in these regions. Grant requests of up to $5,000 to support
field research, summer internships or other creative projects in Asia will be
entertained. Priority will be given to students with demonstrated long-term
academic commitment to and professional preparation for work in East or
Southeast Asia, who have already acquired the necessary level of language
proficiency to complete their proposed research work, or who need substantial
first-hand exposure to Asia to complete a course of academic study.
