The Center for Chinese Studies offers annual competitive fellowships for continuing UC Berkeley graduate students in Chinese studies. Eligibility varies among the fellowships. Students may submit a single application for multiple CCS awards. Students may apply to only one of the four Center/Institute competitions (CCS, CJS, CKS, IEAS), so applicants should carefully consider which one best suits their needs.
Awards include:
- CCS Language Study Grants
- Dissertation Writing fellowships
- MA Student Fellowships
- Republic of China East Asian Fellowships
- CCS Summer Research Grants
- Long-Ling Hsiao Chu and Chao Chi Chu Fellowship in Chinese Studies
- Liu Graduate Research Fellowships in Chinese Studies
- Joseph R. Levenson Chinese Studies Awards
- Elvera Kwang Siam Lim Fellowship in Chinese Studies
- Pamela and Kenneth Fong Graduate Student Fellowships
