OYCF-Chow Fellowship for Field Research in China

Established in 2018 and funded by the generous donations by Gregory C. and Paula K. Chow, the OYCF-Chow Fellowship for Field Research in China provides up to $5,000 to graduate students in humanities and social sciences in a U.S. or Canadian university to conduct fieldwork in China for their thesis projects.

Priority are given to research projects focusing on contemporary economic, social, cultural, or political issues in China, but historical or comparative studies with substantial amount of fieldwork to be conducted in China are also eligible for consideration.

Application is open in Spring each year.
