The Luce Scholars Program is open to seniors, graduate students, alumni from recent classes and junior faculty. It places young scholars from a wide variety of intellectual fields in 10-month internships in selected countries in Asia. Those who already have
significant experience in Asia or Asian studies are not eligible for the Luce Scholars Program. Candidates may have taken Asian language or Asia-focused courses on a U.S. campus (without majoring in Asian Studies). They may have spent up to a total of 18-weeks,
or have participated in a university-organized summer program, in one or more countries where Luce Scholars are placed. If in doubt as to whether your prior experience disqualifies you, please contact<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="mailto:lkerwin@mit.edu" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;" class="">me</a><span style="" class="">.
Nominees must be American citizens or permanent residents not yet 30 years old on June 20, 2019 and who have earned at least a bachelor's degree or expect to receive one by June 20, 2019.<br class="">
<br class="">
Prospective MIT candidates must apply through CIS. MIT/CIS is permitted to forward THREE applications this year to the Luce Foundation. Applications must be received by CIS by Friday, October 19, 2018.<br class="">
