Asia Study Grants | National Library of Australia (NLA)

Asia Study Grants

The Asia Study Grants program, formerly known as the Japan Study Grants, was a program offered by the National Library between 2008 and 2025.

About Asia Study Grants

The Asia Study Grants program provided researchers and PhD students with opportunities to research our Asian language and Asia-related collections.

While this program is no longer offered by the Library, researchers and PhD students working in the field of Asian Studies are able to apply for the National Library of Australia Fellowships and National Library of Australia Scholarships programs.  Both of these programs offer dedicated Fellowships and Scholarships in the field of Asian Studies.
