AIFIS is pleased to announce a new round of fellowship applications for 2018-2019. Awards are available for both Americans to work in Indonesia, and Indonesians to work in America. Applications are due on Friday August 17, 2018 at 11:59pm EST. Please see below for information on applying for the fellowships, or email the AIFIS office at fellowships@aifis.org.

The American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS) invites applications from American and Indonesian scholars who wish to conduct research across the field of contemporary and traditional Indonesian studies.

For Indonesian scholars, research grants of $7,000 (for each awardee) are available. Funds are available exclusively to support travel to the United States for the purpose of collaborating with a researcher (graduate student, faculty, or other affiliate) at a U.S. institution of higher learning. They are designed to cover travel, accommodation, and support for the Indonesian researcher while in the United States. Collaboration with an American partner is essential for these grants.

These small grants are designed to foster new collaboration between Indonesian and American scholars and to raise existing collaborations to a new level by stimulating small cooperative projects in all fields of Indonesian studies, including the sciences, planning, agriculture, history, the arts, etc. Funding is provided by The Henry Luce Foundation. For further information and to request the application form, as well as submit an application, please read the “Application Instructions” (below) or contact the American Institute for Indonesian Studies (AIFIS), Kahin Center for Advanced Studies on Southeast Asia, 640 Stewart Avenue, Ithaca, NY 14850 at fellowships@aifis.org
