The Asian Graduate Student
Fellowships (formerly known as the ASEAN Research Scholars Programme)
are offered to graduate students from Asian countries working in the
Humanities and Social Sciences on Asian topics, and allows the
recipients to be based at NUS for a period of two and a half months.
The
aim of the fellowships is to enable scholars to make full use of the
wide range of resources held in the libraries of NUS and the Institute
of Southeast Asian Studies. The graduate students take up their
appointments from May to July each year.
As part of their programme at NUS, Asian
Graduate students are given an opportunity to present a synopsis of
their research and to describe how their stay at NUS has affected their
intellectual development. The graduate students arrive on campus each
year on May 16 and leave on July 31st.
The presentations are scheduled
at the end of July before they leave, in order to give the academic
community here the chance to provide feedback such as additional sources
which they could beneficially consult during the time remaining to them
to be here.
