New Fellowship For SEASSI Undergraduate Students, Extended Application Deadline
The Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) offers beginning,intermediate and advanced level instruction in Burmese, Filipino, Hmong,
Indonesian, Khmer, Lao, Thai and Vietnamese. Javanese may be offered
if enrollments are high enough. Advanced level instruction at all
levels is dependent upon sufficient enrollments. In addition, Heritage
language instruction is offered in Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao and
Vietnamese. Heritage students are students who grew up speaking or
understanding one of these languages in their home, but who may not be
able to read, write or speak the language formally.
The deadline for Heritage Fellowships at SEASSI is past, but note that
applications are still being accepted for the new "Undergraduate
Scholars Fellowship," until April 16, 2007.
This scholarship will provide, for 20 undergraduate students studying
Southeast Asian languages, full tuition for SEASSI 2007, up to $200
travel allowance for qualifying students, and a $1,800 living stipend.
If you missed the Heritage Fellowship deadline, or if you otherwise put
off applying for financial reasons, consider taking a shot at this new
fellowship, funded by the Henry Luce Foundation.
Note that the General Application deadline for SEASSI and the Tuition
Fellowship deadline has also been extended until April 16. Award
announcements will be made by May 1. SEASSI takes place this year from
June 18 to August 10.
