The Center for Japanese Studies announces its 2008-2009 fellowship competition for continuing graduate students in Japanese Studies.
Financial assistance to graduate students is a major, and increasingly important commitment of the Center for Japanese Studies.
The Center makes fellowship awards directly to graduate students in Japanese Studies; contributes funds to the multi-year fellowship program of the Institute of East Asian Studies; provides research assistantships to students working for faculty supervisors; helps support the fellowship program of the Inter-University Center for Japanese Studies (Yokohama, Japan), of which the University of California, Berkeley is a founding member.
The Center also supports meetings of graduate students for the discussion of dissertation research, and other topics. Funds are available to students for travel to conferences, scholarly meetings, and job interviews.
