The Luce Scholars Program will no longer require applicants to be nominated by Harvard University. Eligible applicants will now be able to apply directly to the Luce Scholars Program via their website.
The Luce Scholars is a nationally competitive fellowship that offers early-career leaders immersive, professional experiences in Asia. The Luce Scholar Year is a cultural and experiential opportunity rather than an academic one. Students are not enrolled in colleges or universities and no academic credit is extended for the program. Luce Scholars gain new perspectives and cultural insights through immersed living and working experiences in Asia. A professional placement is individually arranged for each scholar on the basis of his or her professional interest, background, and qualifications.
All applicants must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. Candidates must first complete an eligibility questionnaire. If eligible, they will be prompted to complete the application.
Please visit the Luce Scholars Program Website for more information.
