Clark and Arlene Neher
Graduate Fellowship
For the Study of Southeast Asia

Center for Southeast Asian Studies
Northern Illinois University

Through an endowment established by Clark and Arlene Neher, this fellowship will pay $5,200 toward educational expenses in addition to a tuition waiver from the graduate school. This award competition is open to any person regardless of their national origin. This award shall also be granted without regard to citizenship, race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, or sexual orientation. Applicants must be in good standing at NIU, at an advanced stage in their program, either master's and/or doctoral, and be planning field and/or archival research in Southeast Asian studies. The fellowship may be used to support research related expenses with funds obtained through the mechanism of refund on Bursar accounts with zero balance. The NIU Foundation no longer processes any check requests to be paid directly to students. Therefore, this award will be routed through the Office of Student Financial Aid and applied directly to the student's Bursar account.

Application deadline is February 1 (or first business day thereafter).
