Our Approach
The Asia Institute believes that experiential learning opportunities in Asia can be life-changing. To increase the number of students studying abroad in Asia each year, The Asia Institute partners with various organizations who aim to support participation in global learning experiences. To learn more about our joint-scholarship programs, application criteria, and what we aim to achieve, please see specific joint-scholarships information.
Return to Asia Scholarships
Due to the global disruptions caused by COVID-19, study abroad programs have been cancelled or postponed for thousands of students. To encourage the return of interest in study abroad in 2021 and 2022, The Asia Institute will award $125,000 in scholarship funding to students on faculty-led short-term programs in Asia, prioritizing for 2020 programs that were cancelled.
