Graduate School Scholarship

Applications to the M.A. program in EALC received by April 15 will be considered for the Graduate School Scholarship for incoming graduate students. The amount is $3000 for the first two years of graduate study, provided the student remains in good standing. One award is available each year.

General Scholarship and Grant Availability

In recent years many of our students in East Asian Studies have received Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowships (FLAS). Due to the limited number of these fellowships available, there is always a keen competition for them. As a result, they are often awarded to students who are already established in a University of Kansas program related to East Asia, but new applicants are welcome to apply. Applicants should contact the Center for East Asian Studies, 205 Lippincott, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045. While there are no particular scholarships or grants awarded directly by our department, the Graduate School does offer several fellowships and scholarships for which the department can offer nominations.
