First Year Southeast Asian Language Scholarships

Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most dynamic and interesting regions, and the University of Michigan is one of the best places to study Southeast Asia in the world.  Drawing on over 100 years of engagement with the region, every year Michigan offers a wide range of courses, student clubs and events focusing on Southeast Asia. Whether you want to take a course on the region, travel to the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand or Vietnam with faculty members, or study abroad for a semester, you can discover more about this fascinating part of the world while you’re here at Michigan.

In order to support learning about Southeast Asia, The Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at the University of Michigan is pleased to be able to offer students at the University of Michigan the opportunity to apply for scholarships for studying one of our Southeast Asian languages – Filipino, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese – at the beginning level during the 2009-2010 academic year.
