Graduate Fellowship

Applications are currently closed. The next funding cycle will open in fall 2025.

The Asian Cultural Council gives a small number of grants to students admitted to a graduate degree program in the United States. Graduate Fellows must be enrolled in a program that falls within the 16 accepted disciplines.

Funding is intended to cover travel and living expenses related to graduate study. Tuition costs are not supported.

ACC prioritizes applicants who choose to study in the U.S. because comparable programs are not available in their home countries/territories/regions and/or because they work in a field that is underrepresented in their home countries/territories/regions. Through the Graduate Fellowship, ACC aims to advance international cultural exchange and to contribute to the diversification of scholarly narratives and critical discourses through increasing access to academic training in the arts and cultural fields.
