When the CSFP(COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIPS & FELLOWSHIPS PLAN) was established, one of its key principles was that each Commonwealth country would decide on its own level of participation. This allows awards to reflect national priorities, and ensures that selection is a genuine partnership between home and host countries. It also means, however, that knowing where and when to apply can be difficult, since the number of countries offering awards is regularly changing.
The process of making an application can be simplified, however, by using this site in the following way:
* First, check whether any CSFP awards are currently available in the country in which you wish to study. This can be done by checking whether it appears on the list of current sponsors under the section on Countries offering Awards.
* If the country is not listed, then no awards are being offered at present. You could, however, contact the agency in that country to ask whether they have any plans to offer awards in future, or click onto another country.
* If the country is listed, you should check whether you are eligible. Please note that terms and conditions of awards vary over time, as do application deadlines. Whilst the organisers of this web site try to keep up to date with these developments, this is not always possible, and it is advisable to check the current situation with the national agency concerned.
* If you seem to be eligible for an award, check whether it is available to nationals of your home country, by seeing if your country is listed in the drop down box in the Applications section. In some cases, this will not only provide further details, but give access to the appropriate application form. Please remember, however, that many host nations only offer awards to a limited number of other countries. This might be decided not the basis of geographical reasons, the needs of recipient countries, or whether the country concerned offers awards themselves.
* If awards are offered to citizens from your country, do as much research as possible on the likely course or university where your award may be held. Some country sections offer detailed links to the sites of specific universities or national advisory agencies. In other cases, investigations can be made via the link to the ACU's free Coursefinder service.
* When writing your application, make sure you present yourself to the best effect. Whilst the requirements of individual countries vary, a leaflet giving general advice to candidates applying to the United Kingdom might be of wider interest. For a copy of the leaflet, click here.

The Asian Cultural Council supports cultural exchange between Asia and the United States in the performing and visual arts, primarily by providing individual fellowship grants to artists, scholars, students, and specialists from Asia for study, research, travel and creative work in the United States. Grants are also awarded to Americans engaged in similar activities in Asia and to arts organizations and educational institutions for specific projects of particular significance to Asian-American cultural exchange. In addition, the Council awards a small number of grants in support of regional exchange activities within Asia.
The ACC’s geographic purview covers an extensive area of Asia ranging from Afghanistan to Japan. Because the Council’s grant funds are limited, however, priority consideration is currently being given to applicants from that area of Southeast and East Asia extending eastward from Burma through Japan.
Grants are made in the following fields: archaeology, architecture (design, theory, and history), art history, art and architectural conservation, crafts, dance, film, museology, music, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, theater, and video.
ACC Fellowships and Projects Many of the Asian Cultural Council's fellowships are awarded with unrestricted grant funds, primarily to support artists and specialists from Asia pursuing research, training, and creative programs in the United States. In 2006, unrestricted funds provided support for sixteen individual fellowships and seventeen project grants.
The Council also awards grants in named programs that have been established with funds restricted for specific purposes. These are described below.
American Artists and Museum Professionals in Asia American Artists and Museum Professionals in Asia is a new grant program established at the ACC in 2007 through the support of a three-year donation from The Henry Luce Foundation. The program provides individual fellowships to American artists and American museum professionals for research, study, and creative and collaborative projects in those countries of Asia extending from Burma eastward through Korea and Indonesia.
Asian Art and Religion Fellowship Program This fellowship program focusing on the relationship between the artistic and religious traditions of Asia was established with an endowment gift from Laurance S. Rockefeller. The program enables American scholars, specialists, and artists to conduct research and undertake projects in Asia involving the interdisciplinary analysis of religion and the arts. The Council awards up to five research fellowships or travel grants each year through this program. Asian Art and Religion Fellowships have supported research in India on the iconography of Hindu deities, in Indonesia on the relationship between tantric religious thought and masked performance, and in Thailand on Buddhist architecture of northern Thailand.
Ford Foundation Fellowship Program The Ford Foundation Fellowship Program of the ACC provides support for training, travel, and research in the United States by individuals from Asia engaged in the study, documentation, and preservation of Asian traditional arts. Funded by an endowment grant from the Ford Foundation, this program offers awards in archaeology, art history, conservation, dance ethnology, ethnomusicology, museology, and other disciplines involving traditional Asian culture.
Humanities Fellowship Program Intended primarily to support American scholars and graduate students, the Council's Humanities Fellowship Program was initiated with a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and matching funds from The JDR 3rd Fund and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The program assists American scholars, doctoral students, and specialists in the humanities to undertake research, training, and study in Asia in the following fields: archaeology; conservation; museology; and the theory, history, and criticism of architecture, art, dance, film, music, photography, and theater. Fellowship grants range in duration from one to nine months. The program also supports American and Asian scholars participating in international conferences, exhibitions, visiting professorships, and similar projects.
Japan-United States Arts Program The Japan-United States Arts Program of the ACC provides grants to individuals and institutions in Japan and the United States for exchange activities that encourage the study and understanding of Japanese art and culture. This program is made possible with funds contributed by the Seibu Saison Group and provided to the ACC through an endowment gift from the Japan Foundation. Since 1989, the Saison Foundation has contributed annual supplementary funding for the program, and additional support is provided through the ACC's Blanchette H. Rockefeller Fellowship Fund in Japan. Individual fellowship grants enable Japanese artists, scholars, and specialists to travel to the United States for research, observation, and creative work and allow their American counterparts to visit Japan for similar purposes. The Council also provides limited assistance for performances, exhibitions, and other projects of unusual importance for the development of Japanese-American cultural exchange. In 2006, the program supported thirteen individuals and seven institutional projects. The Japan-United States Arts Program is administered with the assistance of the ACC's office in Tokyo.
Mekong Region Fellowship Program The Mekong Region Fellowship program is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. The program assists individual artists and specialists from Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and China’s Yunnan Province in undertaking research, study, and creative projects in the United States and Asia. The program also provides funds for special projects that encourage regional collaboration and partnership. Beginning in 2006, the Mekong Region program is supporting the regional projects of Arts Network Asia.
Philippines Fellowship Program The Philippines Fellowship Program of the Asian Cultural Council was formally inaugurated in 2000 in association with the ACC Philippines Foundation, a foundation established in Manila to collaborate with the ACC in raising funds and making grants for Philippines-U.S. cultural exchange. Through the ACC Philippines Foundation a range of donors in both countries are contributing to the Philippines Fellowship Program, which emphasizes support for artists, scholars, and specialists from the Philippines undertaking research, study, and creative work in the United States. Some grants are also made to Americans pursuing similar activities in the Philippines and to institutions engaged in Philippines-U.S. or Philippines-Asia exchange projects. Additional information
Starr Foundation Fellowship Program The contemporary visual arts of Asia are the focus of the ACC's Starr Foundation Fellowship Program, which was established in 1983 with an initial endowment grant from the Starr Foundation. Assistance is provided to artists and arts specialists from Asia for creative research, training, and observation in the United States for periods ranging from one month to one year. Grants are made in the fields of art criticism, crafts, film, museology, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video. In 2006, seventeen Starr Foundation Fellowship Program grants supported artists, curators, and critics from Asia traveling to the United States. Taiwan Fellowship Program The ACC's Taiwan Fellowship Program was created in 1995 in collaboration with the Sino-American Asian Cultural Foundation, a foundation established in Taipei specifically to serve as the ACC's partner in raising funds and making grants to artists, scholars, and specialists from Taiwan for research, study, and creative work in the United States. The program also supports American and Asian arts specialists visiting Taiwan to participate in cultural exchange projects organized by local arts institutions. Fundraising, application procedures, and grantee programming are administered with the assistance of the ACC-SAACF office in Taipei. Through the Sino-American Asian Cultural Foundation, a variety of individual, corporate, and foundation donors have contributed to the program, which supports eight to twelve grant recipients each year.
John D. Rockefeller 3rd Award Each year the ACC presents the John D. Rockefeller 3rd Award of the Asian Cultural Council to an individual from Asia or the United States who has made a significant contribution to the international understanding, practice, or study of the visual or performing arts of Asia. This $30,000 award for outstanding professional achievement commemorates the deep and long standing interest of John D. Rockefeller 3rd in Asian art and culture.
Candidates for the John D. Rockefeller 3rd Award must be nominated by artists, scholars, and others professionally involved in Asian art and culture. Recipients are selected by the trustees of the Asian Cultural Council in consultation with various specialists in the candidates' fields as well as with qualified individuals having firsthand knowledge of the nominees' professional activities and accomplishments. The award enables recipients to pursue work in some aspect of the arts of Asia through international travel and research. Individuals from Asia and the United States who are active in any field of the visual or performing arts of Asia, whether affiliated with an institution or working independently, are eligible for award consideration. Funds for the Award are made possible by an endowment gift to the Asian Cultural Council from The JDR 3rd Fund. The recipient of the 2006 John D. Rockefeller 3rd Award is Lin Hwai Min, dancer/choreographer and director of the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan.
The A. Patrick Charnon Memorial Scholarship helps students afford high quality undergraduate education in their chosen fields of study.
Introducing Pat Charnon Pat Charnon was an inspiration to many young people in Beloit, Wisconsin, until his untimely death from cancer in 1987. He had a quick mind and sharp wit, but his compassion, tolerance and generosity defined him better. Pat opened his home to college students and other young people, offering room and board for help with renovations, housework and cooking. He took in summer interns, recent graduates, and others just looking to find their ways. In Pat’s house you were a member of a special community, where you were supported, challenged, and – above all else – respected.
The Generosity Continues … With the memory of his remarkable generosity and his strong commitment to education, the friends and family of Pat Charnon have joined The Center for Education Solutions to establish the A. Patrick Charnon Memorial Scholarship. Each year since 1992, The Center has awarded $1,500 scholarships to full-time undergraduate students who have demonstrated their commitments to building communities. Since its inception, the Charnon Scholarship program has attracted over 1,000 applicants from all over the United States – as well as from foreign students attending college in the United States. Most fundraising has come from individuals, with a smattering of support from matching gift programs as well.
Become Part of the Program Maybe someone like Pat Charnon has touched your life -- someone you would like to honor in a unique and rewarding way. Consider a scholarship or special program, and then contact The Center for Education Solutions – we will help you design a lasting tribute. Or you may contribute to the Charnon Scholarship.
Who are the Charnon Scholars? Past recipients include: Carmen Henke from Iowa, who returned to college so she could teach children with special needs in her rural community. Kara Clayton, born in Korea and adopted by a Wisconsin family, who is helping recent immigrants learn English. Vanessa Duckett from Washington, D.C., who plans to return to the inner city to open shelters and youth centers.
About the Charnon Scholarship Amount Each scholarship will be for $1,500 per academic year, prorated and awarded at the beginning of each academic term (for example, semester or quarter). Recipients may re-apply each year for up to four years, provided they continue to meet the requirements of the award.
Requirements Recipients must be admitted or enrolled in a full-time undergraduate program of study in an accredited four-year college or university in the United States. They must maintain good academic standing and make progress toward a degree. The Charnon Scholarship Review Committee will decide whether applicants fulfill the requirements of the award. The selection committee looks for candidates who value tolerance, compassion and respect for all people in their communities, and who have demonstrated their commitments to these values by their actions.
Our Successes For each of the past eleven years, the A. Patrick Charnon Memorial Scholarship has recognized the contributions of undergraduate students. As befits the ideals of the person it honors, Charnon scholarship recipients are a diverse group of people with exceptional dedication and commitment to their communities.
