Long one of the most popular parts of our website, the UCLA Asia Institute fellowship pages are bulging with information on more than 200 different awards which can be used to support Asian Studies.

Awards exist to fund Asia study trips for schoolteachers, to sponsor language acquisition, to enroll in Asian university courses, to carry out graduate research, to write or rework dissertations, to carry out postdoctoral research, to collaborate with Asian scholars, and to teach or work in Asia.
