Asian Studies Study, Research, and Service Travel Grants
Through the Asian Studies Summer Study, Research, and Travel Grants, students have the opportunity to spend part of a summer in an Asian country with a grant of up to $3,000 for travel and living expenses. Applicants may be from any college or major, but must have a proposed project that relates to their area of study. Priority will be given to students who have completed two years of language work in the relevant language prior to the intended travel, have no prior travel experience in the area, and are Asian studies majors or minors.
Application deadline: March 31, 2023.
Summer Experience Grant
The Student Assembly Summer Experience Grant provides financial support for students to complete summer unpaid or minimally paid career-related experiences. It helps students who would not be able to take on a summer career-related experience or would have a difficult time doing so. First years, sophomores, and juniors in all undergraduate colleges are eligible to apply.
