Does the Asian Division offer any grants and fellowships to researchers and students to use the Asian Collection and conduct research at the Library of Congress?
The Asian Division offers the Florence Tan Moeson Research Fellowship Program annually. The Fellowship awards scholars based on financial need. Grants are intended to subsidize researcher’s transportation fares to and from Washington, D.C., accommodations, and photocopying fees. The Fellowship provides an opportunity for graduate students, independent scholars, community college teachers, researchers without regular teaching appointments, or librarians with a demonstrated need for research fellowship support, to pursue their scholarly research by using diverse collections of the Asian Division and other collections of the Library of Congress.
