Programme Overview

The Asian Cultural Council gives a small number of grants to students admitted to a graduate degree program in the United States. Graduate Fellows must be enrolled in a program that falls within the 16 accepted disciplines.
Graduate Fellowships are awarded for one academic year, with the possibility of renewing for one (1) additional year. One academic year in this application cycle would include the full-time pursuit of coursework from the Fall 2025 to Spring 2026 semesters or from the Spring 2026 to Fall 2026 semesters.

Benefits

Through the Graduate Fellowship, ACC aims to advance international cultural exchange and to contribute to the diversification of scholarly narratives and critical discourses through increasing access to academic training in the arts and cultural fields.

Benefits: 

• $15,000 for one (1) academic year; opportunity to renew for another academic year if applicant is enrolled full-time within the same graduate program and has maintained academic eligibility.
• Graduate Fellowship applicants do not need to provide a detailed budget.

Requirements

• Funding is intended to cover travel and living expenses related to graduate study. Tuition costs are not supported.
