APLP Supplemental Scholarships (subject to annual adjustment)

In many cases, participants have been self-funded. A sizeable number of competitive supplemental scholarships are available. Scholarships take the form of endowed fellowships, annual gifts and occasional awards, and are subject to availability and change. APLP supplemental scholarships derive from a variety of public and private granting agencies, institutions, governments and individuals, including East-West Center alumni. The APLP is extremely grateful for this support.
