The East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellowship provides master's and doctoral funding for graduate students from Asia, the Pacific, and the United States to participate in educational, cultural, residential community building, and leadership development programs at the East-West Center while pursuing graduate study at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa (UHM). Since the basic purpose of the East-West Center is to build a sense of Asia-Pacific community and prepare for future leadership roles, EWC graduate student fellows live together and interact with each other in both intellectual and social activities. The Fellowship invites applications from citizens or permanent residents of the United States and citizens of countries in the Pacific and Asia, including Russia. Priority in the student selection process is given to applicants with a demonstrated commitment to the Asia Pacific region. Three letters of reference are required. Prospective international students who are seeking admission must provide an official TOEFL or IELTS test score report from the testing service if proof of English proficiency is required.
