Introduction

Students in the David Chu Program are strongly encouraged to apply for David Chu Scholarships in Asia Pacific Studies.  These scholarships may be used for research travel to Asia, language study, or to supplement tuition costs for students with financial need.

Scholarships & Travel Bursaries

The Dr. David Chu Program is proud to provide a number of annual academic scholarships which are reserved for students of the Asia Pacific region. We encourage our students to travel to the Asia-Pacific region in order to gain first-hand learning experience about the language and culture, and therefore offer a number of travel bursaries. These awards are offered annually.  Students must demonstrate financial need in order to qualify for the scholarships.

The Dr. David Chu leadership award recognizes student leadership and academic achievement in pursuing and promoting extra-curricular research related to the Asia-Pacific region. For more information, including application requirements and deadlines, click here.
