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.

Interested in Supporting APLP Scholarships? 
Many of the scholarships listed above are funds raised on an annual basis through various private donations.  The Asia Pacific Leadership Program team is always working to raise additional funds to support APLP Fellows and defray their out-of-pocket costs for participating in the program.  If you are interested in donating towards participant scholarships, please visit the East-West Center's online donation page and select "APLP Scholarships" in the 'Designation' drop-down menu. 
 
Named scholarships and endowments [those named in honor of a loved one, family foundation, interest area, etc.] can also be established to support participant scholarships for the Asia Pacific Leadership Program.  To inquire about named scholarships and endowments, please contact the East-West Center Foundation.
