Campus deadline for 2019-2020 Luce Scholars Program is October 15, 2018

Applications are now being accepted for the 2019-2020 Luce Scholars Program! Offering a year-long internship in Asia, the Luce Scholars Program (LSP) is designed to provide an extended period of exposure to an Asian country for highly qualified young US citizens & permanent residents who lack extensive engagement with Asian affairs and who would not gain this knowledge through their normal career trajectories.

Please note: For the purposes of LSP eligibility, “extensive engagement” means more than 18 weeks (total) in LSP countries (post-high school) or an Asian studies-related major. Students who have Asian studies-related minors, certificates, or coursework, shorter stays in LSP countries, and/or relevant language study (even multi-year study) ARE eligible to apply.

Seniors & graduate students who will graduating by May 2019 as well as alumni are eligible but must apply through the UW–Madison. The campus deadline for this current cycle is 4pm on October 15, 2018.
