2014-15 Stanford East Asia Library Travel Grants
The East Asia Library at Stanford University is
now accepting applications for its 2014-15 library travel grants.

greater San Francisco Bay Area in accessing the Stanford East Asia
Library collections for research. Funded by the Department of
Education Title VI program, the Stanford Center for East Asian
Studies will award up to six grants on a competitive basis to help
defray the cost of travel and lodging for scholars of East Asia at
other institutions who wish to utilize the collections at the
Stanford East Asia Library. The grants will be paid as
reimbursements of expenses in compliance with University travel
guidelines. The Stanford East Asia Library collection includes
roughly 770,000 volumes in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and western
languages. Further information about the library collections is
available at https://library.stanford.edu/ eal.
