Luce Scholars Program American-Asian Exchange Fellowship

The Luce Scholars Program is unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it

is intended for young leaders who have had no prior experience of Asia and who might not otherwise

have an opportunity in the normal course of their careers to come to know Asia or their Asian

counterparts. The program provides stipends and internships for up to eighteen young Americans to

live and work in Asia each year. The University of Chicago is a nominating institution for applicants to

the Luce Scholars Program.

Candidates must be American citizens who have received at least a bachelors degree

and are no more than 29 years old on September 1 of the year they enter the program. Nominees

should have a record of high achievement, outstanding leadership ability, and a clearly defined career

interest with evidence of potential for professional accomplishment. Those who already have significant

experience in Asia or Asian studies are not eligible for the Luce Scholars Program.
