Visiting Scholars Program
This program offers younger faculty members in the humanities and social sciences the opportunity to undertake 11 months of study and research at Harvard University.? Approximately 25 applicants are chosen each year as researchers at the Harvard-Yenching Institute, and have access to the Harvard University libraries and facilities. Scholars are provided with living expenses while at the Institute. Applicants must be 45 years of age or younger as of the date of application in June.? All the applicants and university/academy administrators will be notified of selection results in mid-December.? The selection criteria include English proficiency, academic training, quality and originality of the research proposal, demonstrated depth of subject knowledge, the feasibility of conducting the research at Harvard University. ?Preference is given to those whose proposals demonstrate knowledge of the materials and faculty at Harvard University. Selected scholars are expected to make a presentation in English on their proposed research project while they are staying at the Institute.? The deadline for submitting applications is June 15, 2008.?

Visiting Fellows Program
This program provides advanced Ph.D. candidates (advanced graduate students and junior faculty members) in your institution an opportunity to do dissertation research at Harvard University for three semesters, with access to Harvard University libraries and facilities. Fellows are provided with living expenses while at the Institute. There is no age limit for this program. All applicants and university/academy administrators will be notified of selection results in mid-December.? In our selection process, preference is given to advanced graduate students and junior faculty members working in East Asian Studies. ?The selection criteria include academic training, quality and originality of the research proposal, depth of subject knowledge and feasibility of conducting the research at Harvard University.? The deadline for the receipt of application is June 15, 2008.? An official TOEFL score is required for this program. The TOEFL score must be submitted to the Institute by September 1, 2008.?

Selection Process for the two programs
Due to the number of applicants and competitive nature of the programs, we have decided to change our selection process this year.? The new selection process is as follows:
- Pre-screening: Harvard faculty in the humanities and social sciences will screen all the applications.? As a result, about 50% of the nominated candidates will be selected for an interview conducted by an Institute interview panel during the fall of this year.
We will no longer be able to offer interviews to all applicants.
- Candidates who are to be interviewed will be asked to come to a central location in each region to meet a three-member interview panel consisting of one Harvard senior faculty member and two Harvard-Yenching Alumni. The interview will last approximately 30 minutes and will be conducted in English. The three-member panel and the use of central locations are a second change from our past practice.
- Final result: our selection committee will review the applications and meet to select successful candidates in early December.
