East Asian Languages & Literatures Scholarships

Overseas Travel Funding
EALL has a number of scholarship funds that EALL MA or PhD students can use for costs associated with overseas research purposes and study abroad. The awards are intended to partially offset such expenses rather than to fully fund such research trips. Details regarding the funds are as follows:

• Alan Wolfe Memorial Fellowship
  Qualifying students: MA or PhD degree students in or admitted to the Japanese Studies graduate program, or undergraduate students with a declared Japanese major or minor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures. Preference will be given to graduate students.
• Japan America Friendship Fund
  Qualifying students: The Japan America Friendship Fund Scholarship is for undergraduate or graduate students planning to study abroad in the coming summer or academic year. It supports travel to Japan for study of Japanese language and culture. The goal of the scholarship is to sustain and improve Japanese/American relations and understanding. Candidates must be US citizens, majoring or minoring in Japanese in EALL, and have applied to study abroad in the coming summer or academic year (but you do not need to have been formally accepted to a program before applying).

All of these funds are awarded through one centralized online application process, which is administered by CAPS (Center for Asian and Pacific Studies) and can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/EALL. The deadline is typically in April.
