SEALC-GETSEA Language Tuition Support Application 2025-2026 Elizabeth Williams Thu, 06/12/2025 - 11:07

With support from the Henry Luce Foundation, the Southeast East Asian Language Council (SEALC) and the Graduate Education and Training in Southeast Asian Studies (GETSEA) consortia awards financial assistance to students who incur tuition fees when studying a Southeast Asian language via synchronous distance learning during the academic year at an institution other than their home institution. This award is intended to facilitate cross-institutional collaboration and increase access to Southeast Asian language instruction. Eligibility requires that the proficiency-oriented course is credit-bearing at a North American institution and that the applicant is a full-time student at a North American institution. Priority will be given to graduate students, but all are encouraged to apply. SEALC and GETSEA encourage applicants to consider attending the Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) which serves as an excellent resource for summer language instruction. This award is intended to improve access during the academic year so that students can obtain multi-year instruction in a timely manner.

What does the assistance cover?
The award provides tuition reimbursement, minus a modest contribution from the student, for synchronous distance learning of a SE Asian language taught by a lecturer at a North American institution. Applications for tutoring arrangements or courses taught by FLTAs will not be accepted.

Link to Application: tinyurl.com/getsealc2

Application Deadline: The deadline for the 2025 – 26 academic year is July 14, 2025. Applications will only be considered complete once the SEALC has received 1) the online application and 2) a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s advisor, submitted via email to southeastasialanguagecouncil@gmail.com.

Please direct your questions to southeastasialanguagecouncil@gmail.com.

Asian Networks: Transnationalism, Technology, and Equity

November 14-16, 2025

The University of Pittsburgh Asian Studies Center

We live in an increasingly connected world, where labor, politics, culture, and content are in near constant flux and movement. While earlier theorization of transnationalism focused on networks that either originated or concluded in the West, new scholarship recognizes the importance of reconceptualizing transnational to focus on intra-regional movements, networks, and nexuses. We encourage proposals on all topics related to Asia from any discipline, and welcome participation from faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, independent scholars, K-12 teachers, and professions.

To propose a panel, roundtable, or individual paper, please create an account on our website (maraas.org) and follow the instructions for proposal submissions. The proposal deadline is July 1st, 2025. Please send any inquiries to Linda Lieu (lieul@pitt.edu).

Thursday, May 8, 2025
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ET

Join the Asian American Scholar Forum (AASF) for an urgent Know Your Rights webinar focused on the intersection of criminal law, research security, and higher education—specifically addressing the mounting concerns facing Asian American professors and scientists who are facing increasing scrutiny and investigations, raising concerns about the return of the China Initiative and the environment of fear it cultivated. Moreover, international students, postgrads, and researchers are also facing increasing scrutiny with efforts to halt all Chinese student visas, preventing graduate students from conducting research, and targeting their participation in STEM fields. This session will empower scholars, faculty, students, and researchers with vital legal knowledge and we encourage you to register today.

Register Now

Speaker Robert Fisher, an attorney and law partner, will break down your rights, what’s at stake, and how to navigate this evolving landscape. He will share his unique expertise that tackles how higher education, research, and normal academic activities have increasingly become criminalized and the ways in which the research community may be impacted as a result. This is a must-attend event for anyone impacted by or concerned about the growing scrutiny of scholars, scientists, and researchers in the United States.
