Graduate Student Grants
Grants Administered by APSI
Summer Research Fellowships
APSI will have summer research fellowships
available to graduate students in East Asian Studies
at Duke. The fellowships are open to East Asian Studies
MA students at APSI as well as graduate students in
other departments whose primary area of study is East
Asia. Citizenship is not a requirement for this fellowship,
though you must be a full-time student in order to
apply for this fellowship. The purpose of the fellowship
is to provide students working on a dissertation* or
an MA capstone research project with funding for travel
to archival and research sites in East Asia during
the summer of 2009. The maximum award will be $2,500.
*PhD students will be eligible to receive the award twice, once early in their studies to explore their dissertation topic in the field, and once again later to pursue more in depth field research. Most students will not receive this funding during their first year, and only students who show significant progress during the intervening year will be eligible to receive it two summers in a row.
To apply, please submit your application
via email to Dana.Watson@duke.edu .
The application deadline is February 16, 2009. Your
application should include:
- A 2-3 page application describing
the research project, including rationale for the
project and research methodology
- A budget sheet that realistically
projects travel, lodging, meals, and other research
related expenses. Please also provide information
about other potential sources of funding
- A recommendation letter from
a faculty member who will supervise the project.
Award decisions will be announced
in mid-March. All recipients of the fellowship
will be required to submit a 3-5 page report summarizing
the results of their research by October 1, 2009.
Recipients will also be asked to share their research
experience with their fellow students at one of the
monthly Asian Pacific Forums during the 09-10 academic
year.
Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships (FLAS)
APSI administers both academic year
(AY) and Summer FLAS fellowships for the U.S. Department
of Education. For both fellowships, preference will
be given to 1) students who are pursuing advanced level
of language proficiency in Chinese, Japanese or Korean;
and 2) Master's degree students who are more likely
to pursue government service or enter a professional
field. Application deadline for the 2009 summer and
2009-2010 AY FLAS fellowships will be February 27,
2009.
