Here are just a few examples of the way CEAPS has supported students.

Body

“The grant allowed me to conduct fieldwork in Indonesia, collect primary observations, and engage with local communities to gather unique qualitative and quantitative data. Without this support, my work would have been limited to secondary sources, desk-based work, or more constrained regional studies.”

Azifah Astrina (PhD Candidate, Political Science)
Dissertation Travel Grant Recipient

Body

“The study abroad opportunities provided by these fellowships made me think about the world differently and inspired me to pursue research...Now that I am halfway through my PhD program, I can confidently say that I have made it this far because of the generosity of CEAPS, something I am forever grateful for.” 

Kolten Conklen (BA '22 in Global Studies & East Asian Languages & Cultures)
Foreign Language & Area Studies Fellow and Wanxiang Fellow

 

Body

“This fellowship gave me time and financial resources to focus on my Japanese studies through language and area studies classes. This would have been difficult to do while working part time. The support from my FLAS and IGI fellowships gave me resources and space to develop a career path through my work with Japanese collections at the library.”

Rebecca Stover (PhD Student, History)
Foreign Language & Area Studies Fellow & IGI Graduate Language Fellow

Body

“Having direct access to sources and perspectives in Cambodia gave me insights I could not have gained otherwise. The grant gave me confidence in pursuing ambitious research question and affirmed my commitment to a research career focused on Southeast Asia and the international politics of foreign aid.”

Paul Un (PhD Candidate, Political Science)
Dissertation Travel Grant Recipient
