Tsai Family Research Fund for Taiwan Studies Scholarships

Through a generous donation by the Tsai Family, EASC is proud to announce an ambitious three-year initiative to increase interest and study in Taiwan. The Tsai Family Research Fund for Taiwan Studies will support undergraduate, graduate, and faculty study and research either at USC or in Taiwan. We particularly encourage those students and scholars who may be interested in using Taiwan as a comparative case study in their research about larger themes or issues.

Undergraduate Students

Students wishing to study language or conduct research about or in Taiwan are encouraged to apply for the Daniel Tsai fund. The fund will support up to $1,000 for students studying abroad during the academic year (e.g., at the CIEE study center in Taipei), and up to $3,000 during the summer to help defray costs for those studying Chinese in Taiwan, or help subsidize travel costs for those proposing to do research in Taiwan under the guidance of a USC faculty.

Graduate Students

Awards of up to $5,000 for summer research and/or language study in Taiwan, or smaller awards for conference participation if presenting a paper about Taiwan.
