CKS Fellowships

The CKS provides fellowships for students and scholars in order to promote research and cross-national scholarly exchange among the international community of scholars and their Cambodian colleagues. A three-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation enabled the CKS to develop its first fellowship program for U.S. doctoral students conducting field research in Cambodia. Since its inception in 2001, CKS Fellowship Programs have continued to expand with funding from the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Florence Gould Foundation. As of 2009, we have granted fellowships to a total of 48 American and 24 French scholars to conduct their pre-doctoral or post-doctoral research onsite, in Cambodia.

Senior Fellowships are open to American and French researchers. CKS Fellows are given direct funding for their research, access to CKS resources, and provided with logistical support and contacts while in-country. CKS also serves as a host institution for scholars from around the world when they become affiliated scholars. American scholars conducting pre-doctoral and post-doctoral research are eligible to apply; they are supported by the U.S. Dept. of State/ECA through the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC). The Florence Gould Foundation, in collaboration with Paris-based Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO), supports the French scholars.
