The Faculty Scholarship Program<\/em><\/strong><\/span> supports promising young faculty from selected United Board<\/em> network institutions in pursuing advanced degree study, taught in English at United Board<\/em> network institutions or approved institutions within Asia but located outside of their home countries. These scholarships help developing colleges and universities nurture junior faculty members and advance whole person education. Through the Faculty Scholarship Program<\/em>, the United Board<\/em> aims to support individuals in strengthening their academic qualifications and enhancing their teaching, and to foster academic networks among Asian universities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage institutions, which have the need to upgrade their teaching faculty and a plan for faculty development, to identify candidates for this opportunity. Each institution can nominate up to three candidates for the Faculty Scholarship Program<\/em>. More details on institutional eligibility can be found in the guidelines.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Applicants must be currently employed full-time by a university in the United Board network in Asia, below 42 years old for master\u2019s degree programs, and under 40 years old for doctoral degree programs at the time of application, and committed to return to their home institutions after completing their degree programs. Preference will be given to candidates with at least 2-3 years of teaching experience and service at their home institutions. All disciplines are welcome, and special consideration will be given to applicants who are interested in pursuing gender or women\u2019s studies or related subjects for master\u2019s or doctoral studies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Selected candidates may receive scholarship awards of up to US$10,000 per year<\/strong>, for a maximum of four years\u2019 support for doctoral studies and up to two years for master\u2019s degree programs, pending satisfactory progress.\u00a0 Scholarships generally cover tuition, room and board, and a modest monthly allowance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
