Harvard-Yenching Institute offers highly competitive fellowships for study abroad in China, Japan and Korea. The program is open to juniors wishing to spend a year abroad before entering their senior year and graduating seniors (although preference will be given to undergraduates.) Students will be placed according to their language ability and, if appropriate, they may attend other university courses in the local language.

The fellowships provide tuition, board and a small stipend. In addition, the Harvard-Yenching Institute provides a $2000 fellowship to cover roundtrip airfare and incidentals.
