Luce Scholarship for Study in Asia
Luce Scholars have backgrounds in virtually any field other than Asian studies, including but hardly limited to the arts and journalism.

The Luce Scholars Program is a fantastic opportunity open to graduating seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students in all fields EXCEPT Asian Studies. The Luce Scholars Program provides a year-long fully funded internship opportunity in a variety of Asian countries and is specifically geared toward those who have not spent significant time in Asia already (no language skills required). This year’s application cycle is for those seeking to spend 2011-2012 in Asia.

Eligibility:
Applicants must be American citizens who, by July 1 of the year they enter the program (2011), will have received at least a bachelor’s degree and will not have reached their 30th birthday. Applicants should have a record of high achievement, outstanding leadership ability, and a clearly defined career interest with evidence of potential for professional accomplishment. Those who already have significant experience in Asia or Asian studies are not eligible for the Luce Scholars Program. Additional details are provided in the Program Summary below.

Procedure:
Graduating seniors, recent alums, graduate and professional students at UW are encouraged to apply for the Luce Scholars Program (http://www.hluce.org/lsprogram.aspx) for 2011-2012. The UW is able to nominate 3 students per year to compete for the opportunity to spend 12 months in Asia. The program provides stipends, language training and individualized professional placement in Asia for fifteen to eighteen young Americans each year.

Deadline: Campus Application Deadline: Sept. 15, 2010. The online application is available at https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/scholarq/81416.
