Student Support
Current Fellowships
There are currently three fellowship opportunities for UC Berkeley graduate students.
The Dr. C.F. Koo and Cecilia Koo Chair Fellowships for Outstanding Graduate Students in East Asian Studies, 2013
The Dr. C.F. Koo and Cecilia Koo Fellowships in East Asian Studies have been established at Berkeley's Institute of East Asian Studies to honor outstanding graduate students in East Asian studies, as demonstrated by their academic record and by the submission of an original research paper. Exceptionally for 2013-14, the inaugural year of the program, two fellowships valued at $13,000 each will be awarded. In future years it is expected that one fellowship will be available annually. Students must first be nominated by a Berkeley faculty member, then will be invited to submit applications.
Deadlines:
• Faculty nomination: Thursday, February 21, 2013, 5:00 p.m.
• Student's application: Monday, March 18, 2013, 5:00 p.m.

IEAS Graduate Fellowships in East Asian Studies
The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) announces its 2013-2014 fellowship competition for continuing graduate students in East Asian Studies. Subject to availability of funding, a small number of competitive awards of up to $6,000 (maximum) are available. We expect most awards, however, will be in the $1,500-$3,500 range. Successful applicants should propose a coherent plan of research/study that will result in tangible progress towards their graduate degree. IEAS fellowships are intended to facilitate special research proposals and study plans, and are not intended for general support.
Deadline: Monday, April 1, 2013, 5:00 p.m.

Haas Junior Scholars Program
The Haas Junior Scholars Program for Doctoral Candidates at the Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) allows Berkeley PhD candidates from various disciplines to come together for twice-monthly forums during the academic year to discuss perspectives, methodological approaches, empirical research and original findings centered on their dissertation projects. Participants are expected to share draft chapters of research in progress and to receive feedback from peers. Collaboration between humanists, social scientists and additional fields such as environmental or health sciences, city planning, architecture and design, journalism, and so forth are not required but much encouraged. Preference in awards will be given to groups that bring diverse disciplinary perspectives and empirical expertise to shed light on related research questions that may cohere around underlying themes.
Deadline: Wedmesday, April 10, 2013, 5:00 p.m.
