Selection is made by the Office of Financial Aid in consultation with the Institute of Asian Studies within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. This grant program was founded to assist academically excellent students in the Master of Arts degree program in East Asian Studies. Worthy candidates must intend to pursue graduate studies beyond the master's degree and to pursue a career in secondary or university level teaching in the East Asian Studies field. One or more annual partial grants will be made based on academic excellence with particular emphasis on East Asian historical scholarship, financial need, and the recommendation of the Director of the Institute of Asian Studies within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. In conjunction with the Mayor's Graduate Scholarship Program, St. John's University offers one full tuition scholarship annually to full-time employees of city government who have graduated or are about to graduate from an accredited undergraduate institution of higher education.
Applications are available at the office of the applicant's agency personnel director.
This scholarship will be granted once a year to graduate students enrolled in the Master of Arts Program in Spanish at St. John's University and at the Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile. The scholarship entails the granting of complete tuition remission for one semester to one student selected from each of the two institutions. The student selected from St. John's University will thus spend a semester at the Universidad de Chile free of tuition and student fees. Interested students should contact Dr. Marie-Lise Gazarian, Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Spanish, Department of Modern Foreign Languages and Classical Studies.
