Applications Open for ASEAN–Korea Young Scholar Research Grant

The ASEAN-Korea Young Scholar Research Grant is now open for applications.  

This annual programme supports graduate students from ASEAN Member States (including Timor-Leste, expected to become a member in October 2025) and Korea to conduct on-site fieldwork to help them grow as a future leader in Southeast Asian and ASEAN studies.  

Selected applicants will receive funding for fieldwork in ASEAN countries or Korea, excluding their country of origin, a chance to present their research at the ASEAN-Korea Young Scholar Workshop, and networking opportunities with scholars and institutions across the region.  

Interested applicants must submit their application by 26 October 2025, following the guidelines provided on the official programme website. 

The ASEAN-Korea Young Scholar Research Grant is part of the ASEAN-Korea Platform for Great Minds (AKPGM) project supported by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF). The project is implemented by the Korean Association of Southeast Asian Studies (KASEAS).
