THE COUNCIL ON EAST ASIAN STUDIES AT YALE UNIVERSITY (CEAS)

SUMMER LANGUAGE MINI-GRANTS

The Council on East Asian Studies offers grants to Yale University graduate students at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels for summer language study of Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Grants generally range from $1,500 to $6,000 and can be applied to tuition, room and board at summer language programs, as well as expenses in hiring tutors for specialized, advanced language training.

All students enrolled in M.A. and Ph.D. programs in the Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences are eligible to apply. Applications from graduate students from the Yale professional schools will also be considered.

Priority will be given to those who must undertake summer language study to meet specific degree requirements.

Recipients of a CEAS Summer Language Mini Grant must submit a project report of no less than two pages in English upon completion of their language study and a summary of the report in the relevant foreign language (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean). Reports must be accompanied by itemized original receipts for expenses covered by the grant. Detailed requirements on reporting are provided in award letters. Accepting a CEAS Summer Language Mini Grant obligates one to fulfill these requirements.

ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED ON-LINE THROUGH THE YALE STUDENT GRANTS & FELLOWSHIPS DATABASE (http://studentgrants.yale.edu).

Please read the application instructions carefully. It is the applicant's responsibility to see that a complete application, including letter of recommendation and transcript, is submitted on-line before the deadline on Friday, February 12, 2010. Applications cannot be considered without complete information (i.e., application form; project proposal; budget including information about other possible sources of funding; resume; Yale transcript; and letter of recommendation).

All applicants will be notified of the results of this award competition via email by mid-April 2010.

Yale University policy requires that certain types of research projects involving human subjects be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the start of the study to ensure that the project meets University Policy and any other applicable regulations. To see if your project needs to be reviewed, for advice on working with human subjects, and for more information about the IRB process and requirements, please visit the following website: http://www.yale.edu/hsc/Investigator/Student_projects.pdf
