The East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship provides
master’s and doctoral funding for graduate students from Asia, the Pacific, and
the United States to participate in educational, cultural, residential
community building, and leadership development programs at the East-West Center
while pursuing graduate study at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM).
Undertaking degree studies at UHM through an East-West Center fellowship is not
merely about receiving a financial aid scholarship. Since the basic purpose of
the East-West Center is to build a sense of Asia-Pacific community and prepare
for future leadership roles, EWC graduate student fellows live together and
interact with each other in both intellectual and social activities. They are,
from the very outset, an identifiable group committed to the notion of building
an Asia-Pacific community. Through team-building activities, leadership
development projects and internships, learning about the Asia Pacific region,
cultural exchange, educational enrichment gatherings, community service and
service learning projects, EWC graduate degree fellows establish friendships
and lifelong ties to a network of people committed to positive change in the
Asia Pacific region.
The graduate degree fellowship covers the cost of tuition
and fees, books, housing in an East-West Center dormitory, and partial funding
toward meals, health insurance, and incidental expenses. Funding for field
study and conference presentations is offered on a competitive basis during the
fellow’s period of study.
The East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship invites
applications from:
Citizens or permanent residents of the United States
Citizens of countries in the Pacific and Asia, including
Russia
Priority in the student selection process is given to
applicants with a demonstrated commitment to the Asia Pacific region.
