The French School of Asian Studies (EFEO) awards fieldwork grants twice a year to support students conducting research in the humanities and social sciences on the civilizations of South, Southeast, and East Asia.

These grants enable recipients to undertake a study stay at one of the EFEO Centres in Asia, as part of an academic research project.

The program is open to students enrolled in a Master’s (second year) or doctoral program, regardless of nationality.

The grant takes the form of a monthly financial allowance, the amount of which varies according to the recipient’s level of study and the country of residence. For guidance, the monthly allowance generally ranges between €700 and €1,360. The duration of the stay is limited to a maximum of two months for Master’s students and may range from one to six months for doctoral candidates.

Annual Deadlines

The deadlines for submitting applications are generally in March and October.
