Winter Travel Funding
The Ash Center provides travel grants to HKS students working on their Policy Analysis Exercises (PAE) or Second Year Policy Analyses (SYPA). Specifically, the Ash Center supports students interested in strengthening democracy in the US and beyond—including projects related to antiracism, electoral reform, tribal and Indigenous governance, organizing, engagement, and participation. Likewise, the Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia at the Ash Center supports students interested in Asia, with particular preference for projects focused on Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
The application process and timeline is coordinated with other HKS research centers, and all applications are accepted through the Common Application (found on KNet). Please contact Christina Marchand with questions.
