Funding Opportunities
The China Studies Program M.A. Fellowship
The China Studies Program offers six to seven full or partial funding opportunities for graduate students each year. Partial funding usually includes a Non-Resident Tuition Waiver (meaning recipients qualify for in-state tuition) as well as a monthly stipend.
Awards are made by the Admissions Committee of the China Studies Program at the University of Washington on a nomination basis. The Committee annually offers fellowship support for the first academic year to high-ranking China Regional Studies M.A. applicants. The M.A. Fellowship includes a $4,500 stipend ($500/month over nine months) and a Non-Resident Tuition Waiver. The waiver allows the student to qualify for in-state tuition which will lower the amount of tuition required by approximately half.
Funding for the M.A. Fellowship offered to incoming China Studies graduate students is generously provided through the China Studies’ Mellon Endowment.
