Chinese Language Fellowship Program

 

Description

The Chinese Language Fellowship Program (CLFP) addresses these needs by providing fellowships to American PhD students so that they can devote one year to intensive Chinese language training at an institution of the fellow’s choice, generally in China or Taiwan. The fellowship is intended to cover all expenses at a graduate student level, including tuition, housing living stipend, and other miscellaneous fees.

The Chinese Language Fellowship offers two types of fellowships:

1) PhD Track (up to $50,000)
The PhD track of the Chinese Language Fellowship allows currently enrolled PhD students to participate in a language program of their choice in Taiwan or China for nine months followed by a summer language program during which fellows will take one-on-one classes where they may choose to read primary sources directly related their dissertation research.

2) Prospective PhD Track (up to $40,000)
The Prospective PhD track of the Chinese Language Fellowship allows current or recent master’s degree students planning to pursue a PhD to participate in a language program of their choice in Taiwan or China for nine months. Applicants to the Prospective PhD track must be currently enrolled in a master’s program or already possess a master’s degree.

The Chinese Language Fellowship Program has been made possible through a generous grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York.
