Asia Center Group Travel Grants for Students
The Asia Center offers travel grants for students participating in group trips to Southeast Asia for research and/or service during winter or summer. Trips must include a significant educational component for participants. Grants will typically cover airfare for each student traveling, and they are made to individual students and are not transferable to others in the group. All Asia Center grant recipients must be in good standing at the time of the award. Please note that there is no guarantee that all individual applicants participating in a group application will receive funding.
Groups do not need to be formally recognized student organizations.
Please contact Julie Story (jstory@fas.harvard.edu) with questions.
