Asia Studies Overview | Fellowships

Fellowships in Asian Studies

Students are eligible for fellowships awarded by the Office of Financial Aid. In addition, the China Studies, Japan Studies, Korea Studies, South Asia Studies, and Southeast Asia Studies programs may have additional financial aid assistance.  Please read below for program specific information.

China Studies

Thanks to a grant from the Freeman Foundation given in honor of A. Doak Barnett, the China Studies Program is able to offer full-tuition fellowships to students who have graduated from the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies. One or two fellowships are available for U.S .citizen graduates who plan to concentrate in China Studies at SAIS and one or two fellowships are available for Chinese citizen graduates without any restriction on the field of concentration they choose at SAIS.

Applicants to SAIS with U.S. citizenship concentrating in China Studies who plan careers in government, journalism or nonprofit fields will also be automatically considered for the Christine and Eric Brown Fellowship in China Studies. This generous fellowship toward SAIS tuition is generally awarded every other year to an incoming M.A. candidate and may be renewed for his or her second year of the master's program at SAIS.

In 1996, the James and Margaret Loe Fellowships for excellence in China Studies were established. Loe Fellowships, generally ranging from $1,000 to $3,000, are awarded each year to outstanding second-year M.A. or Ph.D. candidates in the China Studies Program.

Also available to China Studies students who have shown academic excellence during their first year at SAIS, the Stephen and Christine Liu Fellowship is awarded to second-year M.A. students demonstrating a commitment to promoting friendly relations between the United States and China.

For further information on fellowships from the China Studies Program, contact Carla Freeman, associate director of the program, at cfreeman5@jhu.edu.

Japan Studies

Fellowships are available to SAIS students specializing in Japan Studies. Inquiries should be directed to Japan Studies Program Director Kent Calder and emailed to Program Coordinator Junko Dyokas at reischauer@jhu.edu.

Korea Studies

Each academic year, the U.S.-Korea Institute awards fellowships to students pursuing the Korea Studies concentration. Priority goes to U.S. and other non-Korean citizens, but the fellowship is open to all students in the Korea Studies Program.

The amount of the award is variable and renewable provided the student remains in good academic standing.

All applicants to the Korea Studies Program are automatically considered for these fellowships and selection will be made by the program based on both academic merit and student financial need. Although no additional fellowship application is necessary, students may submit additional explanation of academic interests or financial considerations as they see fit.

Southeast Asia Studies

Fellowships are also available to SAIS students specializing in Southeast Asia studies. Tuition fellowships and living stipends are also offered to professionals in the one-year Master of International Public Policy (M.I.P.P.). The M.I.P.P. degree is designed for mid-career academics, government officials, journalists, and business executives seeking exposure to the American system of graduate education and, in particular, the Washington foreign policy process.  Inquiries should be directed to the Program Director, Professor Karl Jackson, and emailed to Shelley Su, the Program Coordinator, at se-asia@jhu.edu

South Asia Studies

There is a small fellowship available to one second-year student concentrating in South Asia Studies, thanks to a contribution from P.K. Vyas.  All second-year South Asia Studies students who indicate to the Financial Aid Office that they wish to be considered for funding will be eligible for this fellowship.

There is also a partial-tuition fellowship that is awarded every two years to a first-year student concentrating in South Asia Studies.  All students who indicate on their admission applications that they would like to be considered for financial aid and intend to concentrate in South Asia Studies will be considered.
