EWCScholarship in the USA 2022 | Fully Funded |
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.
