Thai Studies Graduate Student Grant Application 2025
Please note, because March 1 falls on a weekend, applications will be accepted until 8:00 AM EDT March 3, 2025. Please contact the Center at [email protected] for any questions.
This funding is made possible with proceeds from the Amnuay-Samonsri Viravan Endowment for Thai Studies
The Center for Southeast Asian Studies offers modest funding opportunities to students and faculty from any discipline who work on Thailand.
We consider funding requests from undergraduates to help support study abroad, research, and internship opportunities in Thailand.
Preference will be given to those who have not received funding in the past and who enroll in Thai language courses at U-M.
All awards must be fully spent by April of the year following the award payment.
Award recipients are required to submit a brief narrative written report of the project and outcomes for inclusion in the CSEAS newsletter. Reports are due to CSEAS ([email protected]) one month after funds are spent. In addition, all recipients are expected to participate in a Thai Studies Endowment symposium, usually held in the Fall following the award. Please also inform us of any publications or presentations that come from supported research.
The competition deadline is Monday, March 1st at 11:59 PM.
