Luce Scholars Program for Professional Apprenticeships in Asia

[Rachel Goeller]

Please note that the following fellowship does not require departmental nomination, if interested you should apply directly to the organization. 

Fifteen to eighteen young Americans of outstanding promise and high leadership ability are sent each year to Asia for professional apprenticeships under the guidance of leading Asians. Internships and job placements are arranged for each Scholar on the basis of individual career interests, experience, training, and general background. (No academic credit is involved.) The Luce Scholars program year officially begins with an orientation session in New York in late June, and ends with a wrap-up meeting in Asia in July a year later.
