University of Oregon Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Scholarship 2027

The University of Oregon offers the Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Scholarship to graduate students whose research focuses on Southeast Asia. The award provides $2,000 in the fall term and is open to incoming and current graduate students; applications are due March 1, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

About the Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Scholarship

The scholarship supports research focused on Southeast Asia. Eligible student categories include master’s, doctoral, and law students, regardless of immigration status or work eligibility. The announcement does not specify a particular academic discipline, but the student’s research must focus on Southeast Asia.

The award is $2,000 and is disbursed to the student’s UO Student Billing Account in the fall term. It cannot be deferred. At the time the award is paid, recipients must be enrolled full time in a University of Oregon graduate degree and making satisfactory academic progress toward completing degree requirements.

Applications must be submitted through the UO Scholarship Dashboard, and only complete applications will be considered. Applicants must provide two statements for a general, non-specialist audience: one of no more than 150 words describing their research, and another of no more than 300 words explaining the research’s impact on society. The application also requires a list of awards, grants, scholarships, and other funding received while enrolled at UO; a list of publications authored or co-authored during that period; and one recommendation completed through the dashboard.

Priority is given to residents of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. The announcement does not make residence in those countries an exclusive eligibility requirement. Students receiving financial aid are advised to contact the Financial Aid Office before applying because receiving this award may reduce their financial aid.
