Scholarships for Degree Students
The East-West Center (EWC) would like to make the Center's transformational educational programs accessible to students regardless of their economic situation. Because EWC scholarships provide only partial funding, additional financial aid is needed for qualified students. By establishing a scholarship at the EWC, you will provide more opportunities for qualified students and participants from the Asia Pacific region and the United States to participate in our programs each year.
Thanks for the generosity of alumni and community donors, 137 participants from 25 countries whose own financial resources were limited have been able to participate in EWC education programs.
East-West Center Association (EWCA) Alumni Scholarship Fund
Gifts to this fund are available for immediate use. In addition to the demanding criteria for all scholarship awards, evidence of a strong commitment to community service and involvment with EWCA makes a student eligible to apply for the Alumni Scholarship Fund.
Alumni Endowment Fund for Student Scholarships
The principal of the fund is invested to produce income, which is used to fund scholarships. The principal remains untouched, so the endowment can last into perpetuity, helping generations of students into the future. Contributions can be made in the form of cash, bequest/trust, appreciated securities, or life insurance.
Honor Someone, and Help Fund Scholarships
The East-West Center's Wall of Honor provides an opportunity to recognize individuals (past and present) who have been important to the Center and in the lives of others, and at the same time, help fund the Alumni Endowment Fund for Student Scholarships.
Scholarships for Participants
The Center's Professional Development Programs conducts all of the East-West Center's short to medium-term capacity-building, leadership training, professional exchanges, career development, and high-level dialogue activities. Scholarship funds for these programs can be selected from the gift designation menu at Donate Now.
