The East-West Center promotes better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia, and the Pacific through cooperative study, research, and dialogue.

GRE and GMAT scores are required by some University of Hawai‘i academic programs.  Because the Center is responsible for submitting applicant’s application to the University they need to submit their official GRE or GMAT score report to the East-WestCenter in order to complete their UH application. Official GRE and GMAT score reports should reach EWC by mid-January so as not to delay the UH admission process.

Course Level: Fellowships support graduate study (Master’s or Doctoral degree) at the University of Hawai in the USA.

Study Subject: Fellowships are awarded in fields relevant to the goals and objectives of the East-West Center.

Scholarship Award: The graduate degree fellowship covers the cost of tuition and fees, books, housing in an East-West Center dormitory and partial funding toward meals, health insurance, and incidental expenses. Funding for field study and conference presentations is offered on a competitive basis during the fellow’s period of study.

Scholarship can be taken in the USA

English language Requirements: The University of Hawai‘i requires proof of English proficiency in determining your readiness for graduate-level work. The University of Hawai‘i will grant an exception only if the following criteria are met: a) your academic program was in a country where English is the first language; b) you received a degree from that institution within the past five years. Please refrain from requesting EWC to grant a TOEFL or IELTS exemption as the Center is not in a position to overrule a University of Hawai‘i requirement.
