The Blakemore Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2026
Blakemore Kingfisher Art History Language Fellowships for nine to twelve
months of intensive language study of Chinese or Korean in East Asia during
the 2026/2027 academic year. We would appreciate your sharing this
opportunity with your students and other potential applicants.

These grants are open to citizens and permanent residents of the United
States and Canada, and to foreign nationals studying in colleges or
universities in the United States or Canada, who have a well-demonstrated
intent to study the pre-20th century history of Chinese or Korean art at
the doctoral level. By the start of their grant, candidates must have
received a bachelor's degree and have completed (at minimum) two year's
formal study of the language in rigorous college-level language programs.

The grants will provide a stipend for living, travel and study expenses and
full tuition for study at:
●  International Chinese Language Program at National Taiwan University in
Taipei, Taiwan
●  Inter-University Program for Chinese Language Studies at Tsinghua
University in Beijing, China
●  Seoul National University, Sogang University, or the Inter-University
Center for Korean Language Studies at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea

Applications for the 2026 fellowships are open at
https://blakemorefoundation.communityforce.com, with a deadline of December
