| Funding from the Ford Foundation
allows SEAS to provide limited support for the research-related
purposes of Yale University graduate and undergraduate students
with a demonstrated commitment to the field of Southeast Asian
studies (Burma/Myanmar, Cambodia,
Indonesia, East Timor, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand, and Vietnam). |
| Appropriate
Purposes for Support |
| Appropriate
purposes for support include (but are not limited to) language
training, masters thesis summer research, pre-dissertation
research field work, and funding supplements required to
bring a research project to fruition. We do not fund long-term,
basic dissertation research, nor do we consider applications
for funding of activities connected with dissertation writeup.
Requests for funding of brief visits (< 3 weeks) to fieldwork
locales are generally discouraged as minimally productive,
unless they are necessary follow-ups to previous, more substantial
stays at the site. We expect other sources of funding to
be pursued before or in addition to SEAS application, and
such effort will be considered positively by the award selection
committee. |
| Deadlines, Limitations,
Expectations |
Deadline
for submission of 2010 Summer applications
(including all supporting materials and recommendation letters)
is February 26, 2010. Applications for academic 10/11
semester projects should also be submitted at this time. We
generally will not consider applications for more than $3,000,
in keeping with our effort to provide minimal funding for
training and research necessary to a student's program and
otherwise not available.
Please calculate your budget
carefully: post-award revisions in total amount are not permitted.
Any graduate or undergraduate student currently enrolled at
Yale may apply. Applicants who will graduate before the proposed
project takes place will not be funded.
If relevant, please specify in as much detail as necessary
your language proficiency for the proposed project. Applicants
who are not native speakers are strongly encouraged to submit
the Language
Proficiency Evaluation Form or comparable documentation.
Applicants judged to be lacking appropriate language preparation
will ordinarily NOT be funded. |
