Japanese Studies Pre-Dissertation Research Grant
Eligibility: University of Chicago graduate students engaged in pre-dissertation research. Students who have received a CEAS Japanese Studies Recruitment Fellowship are not eligible for this grant.

Description:
The award takes the form of a reimbursement for up to $3,000 of expenses and supports pre-dissertation research in Japanese Studies.

A student is eligible for this grant only once during his/her graduate school career. Reimbursable expenses include economy airfare, local travel, accommodations, and meals. Receipts and paperwork must be submitted within 30 days of returning from travel. No exceptions.
