Brief Description:

The South Asian Language Fellowship, a program modeled after the Richard U. Light Fellowship, supports qualified undergraduate, graduate and professional students for intensive language study at approved programs in South Asia. The award may be used for transportation, tuition, room and board, and incidentals. Language study must bear a clear relationship to the applicant's overall course of study. Preference is given first to students planning study for a full academic year, then term-time projects, and then summer studies.

Yale University policy requires that certain types of research projects involving human subjects be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the start of the study to ensure that the project meets University Policy and any other applicable regulations. To see if your project needs to be reviewed, for advice on working with human subjects, and for more information about the IRB process and requirements go to: https://funding.yale.edu/applying/fellowships-institutional-review-board
