Members of a delegation from Harvard Yenching Institute: Ms. Linda Grove, Head of Scholarship Program and Ms. Lindsay Strogatz, Executive Assistant & Program Manager, visited Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia (PUC) to offer a scholarship grant in higher education to potential PUC students and staff members.

 “A maximum of three PhD candidates will be selected. They will choose to study at either Hong Kong University or National University of Singapore, with 10-18 months of dissertation research at Harvard University,” said Ms. Linda Grove. The institute will also provide Master support at Harvard’s Regional Studies-East Asia (RSEA).

Harvard-Yenching Institute (HYI) is an independent foundation located on the campus of Harvard University. It was founded in 1928 through the generosity of the estate of Charles M. Hall, inventor of the process for refining aluminum and founder of ALCOA.

Currently, the institute has more than fifty partnership universities and research centers in East and Southeast Asia dedicated to support doctoral scholarship, visiting fellowship, academic publications, advanced training programs, conferences, and other scholarly initiatives in Asia, at Harvard University, and elsewhere in order to increase scholarly communication and to promote graduate and post-graduate research in humanities and social sciences, especially Asian studies.
