Grants Available for Study of Asian Languages

The Blakemore Foundation plans to award approximately twenty-four grants this year for the advanced study of modern Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian languages. Blakemore grants are intended for individuals who are successfully pursuing careers involving Asia who find that language study abroad at an advanced level is essential for their advancement. The grants fund a year of language study at an institution in Asia selected by the applicant and approved by the Foundation. Where there is no strict language program at an educational institution in the country, the grant may provide for the financing of private tutorials under the terms set forth in the application instructions. The grants cover tuition and related educational expenses, basic living costs and transportation, but do not include dependent expenses. The annual deadline for application must be postmarked by January 15, 2000. Grants are awarded in late March.
