East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship 2022-2023 (Funding available)
Deadline: 1st of December , 2022
The Fellowship offers master’s and doctoral funding to graduate students from Asia, the Pacific, and the United States who wish to participate in leadership development activities at the East-West Center while pursuing graduate studies at the University of Hawai’i at Mnoa (UHM).
A fellowship from the East-West Center at UHM comprises more than merely receiving financial aid. Because the main objectives of the institution are to create an understanding of the Asia-Pacific community and to prepare students for future leadership roles, graduate student fellows at the East-West Center live together and participate in both academic and social activities with one another. They have been a well-known group dedicated to the concept of an Asia-Pacific community from the outset.
Funding
The East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship provides the following funding:
- Full-time graduate tuition and fees up to the equivalent of the general tuition charged for post-baccalaureate students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa toward master’s or doctoral studies;
- Housing in an East-West Center residence hall, based on single occupancy;
- A stipend to partially cover food and incidental expenses;
