Graduate Student Steering Committee
First convened in October 2009, EAP's Graduate Student Steering Committee (EAP-GSSC) consists of graduate students from departments across campus who are affiliated with EAP. Our goal is to facilitate scholarly exchange among EAP graduate students and faculty, as well as to provide networking opportunities and to represent graduate student interests and concerns.
Visiting Scholars
Visiting scholars spend a limited residency at Cornell to pursue their research and to work with EAP faculty and students. Most visiting scholars come from countries in East Asia and spend 9 to 12 months at Cornell.

Details
The language study grant is open to Cornell graduate and undergraduate students. The EAP East Asian Language Study Grant can be used either at Cornell or another institution. The grant provides program fees and a stipend for intensive language study of an East Asian language. The grant is similar to a Summer FLAS award, but can also be used during the academic year.
Eligibility
There are no citizenship restrictions for the EAP Area Studies Fellowships or the Language Study Grant.
Application Guidelines
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure the timely submission of the following materials by the application deadline. Incomplete files and materials received after the deadline may not be considered.

- The project abstract should start with "East Asian Language Study Grant." The abstract should give a short but concise summary of what the applicant proposes to do if awarded a language study grant. The first paragraph should summarize what, when, where, how, and why. If the project is to take courses at Cornell or elsewhere, the project abstract should say so and give an idea of what types of courses. In the case of a research project away from Cornell, the project abstract should state where and when this research will take place. Applicants are expected to outline the expected costs of their project within their application proposal.
- If you plan to use the grant somewhere other than Cornell, please include a budget for your project in the project abstract.
