Richard U. Light Fellowship Information
Richard U. Light Fellowships provide full funding for Yale students of exceptional promise to study Chinese, Japanese, or Korean at specifically approved sites in the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. Applicants must obtain admission at Committee-approved sites. Candidates must have achieved a basic proficiency (at least one year of intensive study at Yale or a comparable program) in the target language, but should not be fluent speakers of the language. Those who have advanced proficiency in one language may apply for the Fellowship in a second East Asian language. Citizenship is not a factor in the selection. Recipients are expected to continue language study after they return from Asia, preferably at Yale.  The Light Fellowships are awarded twice each year and are tenable for one Yale semester, an academic year, a summer, or combinations thereof.  All registered Yale students are eligible to apply, including graduating seniors and students in the graduate and professional schools.

Mark your calendars, and attend one of the upcoming Light Fellowship information meetings:

Tuesday, November 4 @ 4pm
Thursday, November 13 @ 4pm
Monday, December 1 @4pm

**All meetings are held in Room 369 at 55 Whitney Ave.  Remember to bring your ID to swipe in at the building reception desk.**
Note:  All applicants, even previous winners, must attend an information meeting<http://www.yale.edu/iefp/light/calendar.html#information_meetings> in the current application year to become eligible to apply.
