Luce Scholars Program

The Luce Scholars Program (www.hluce.org) provides career opportunities for outstanding young Americans who have no previous experience of Asia. These one-year internships are for people in academic and professional fields who would not, during the course of their careers, expect to go to Asia. Applicants must be U.S. citizens under the age of 30. This year Penn may nominate three applicants for this prestigious award. The Penn deadline is November 7.

Please contact Clare Cowen (ccowen@pobox.upenn.edu) at the Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships for further information.
