Asia-related Centers Student Organization Grants
The Asia-related centers and
institutes based in Harvard’s Center for Government and International Studies
offer grants to undergraduate and graduate student organizations for projects
relating to individual countries or spanning multiple countries in Asia. These
grants are offered on an ongoing basis; however, organizations are encouraged
to apply as early as possible, as funds are limited.
There are 3 required application items. Review will not take place until all applications are complete, as centers need all information and materials before making
decisions.

Common Application Form: Please fill out the Common
Application Form in the attachment below. This includes contact information, organization
details, project details, funding request, and signature This
form must be saved and attached as a Word file or PDF.

participants. Your proposal must also clearly state how the content relates to each
Asia-related center/institute from which financial support is requested. Please include with your submission a
draft program with relevant accompanying materials. This

Grant recipients are expected to use funds as described in the original proposal unless otherwise noted. Awards are based on the original proposal and any changes must be submitted to the centers/institutes for approval. The centers/institutes reserve the right to adjust awards.
