The Blakemore
Foundation plans to make 25-30 grants for the advanced study of modern Chinese, Japanese,
Korean and Southeast Asian language
during the 2007/2008 academic year. These
grants are intended for those pursuing professional, academic, or business careers that
involve the regular use of an Asian language. The grants fund a year of advanced language
study at an institution in Asia. Where there is no structured advanced-level language
program at an educational institution in the country, the grant may provide for the
financing of private tutorials under the terms set forth in the application instructions.
The grants cover tuition and a stipend for related educational expenses, basic living
costs and transportation, but do not include dependent expenses. Deadline for
applications: Postmarked by December 30, 2006. For application forms and further
information see: https://www.blakemorefoundation.org |
