We provide support for IU graduate students whose work focuses on China, Japan, or Korea through fellowships and travel awards.
In addition, for graduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences, several fellowships and travel awards are available. IU’s Global Learning: Office of International Affairs and the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) offer grant programs and exchange opportunities for graduate students. The Grad Grants Center, located in room 544 E of the Herman B Wells Library, also provides free, centralized information on fellowships, internships, and grants, as well as consultants to assist students with online grant database searches and writing grant proposals.
We currently offer the following funding opportunities for graduate students:
IU graduate students traveling to academic conferences to present East Asia-related papers or research-related posters may apply for an EASC Conference Travel Award.
Maximum award amount is $500 and is meant to supplement other sources of support, which applicants are strongly encouraged to seek.
Each graduate student is eligible to receive only one travel award per 12-month period (September to August).
Please note that due to Title VI funding regulations, there are some restrictions on the use of an EASC conference travel award for international travel. International travel can be covered but must be approved 6 weeks in advance of the departure date and most likely will require travel on U.S.-owned carriers in order to comply with the Fly America Act. If planning an overseas trip, please contact Theresa Kang at kang43@indiana.edu as soon as possible.
