The East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship provides master's and doctoral funding for graduate students from Asia, the Pacific, and the United States, including Russia, 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 Manoa (UHM). Priority in the student selection process is given to applicants with a demonstrated commitment to the Asia Pacific region. Before the start of the award, applicants for graduate programs must have obtained a 4-year bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited U.S. college or university, or from a recognized institution of higher learning abroad. By December 1, a curriculum vitae or resume; UHM application admission acknowledgment; and copy of the passport biodata page (for international students only) must be submitted. Then on January 10, official transcripts from each college or university attended; an official IELTS, DUOLINGO, or TOEFL score; and three letters of reference, two of which address the applicant's academic abilities and professional objectives and the third which reflects on the applicant's involvement in any community service, civic engagement, or extra-curricular activities must be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the East-West Center for more information.
