ASIANETWORK STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES! DEADLINES APPROACHING
ASIANetwork CONFERENCE
April 16-18, 2027 | Seattle University
"Crossing Currents: Confluences, Conflicts, and Connections"
ASIANetwork welcomes student participation in our conferences! The ASIANetwork conference is the leading venue for undergraduate students with an interest in Asia, Asian American studies, and Asian diasporas to share their academic work — Ìýincluding course projects, research, study abroad experiences, and creative/artistic efforts — with a community of peers and educators from across the country and beyond. ASIANetwork presentation proposals are reviewed by a committee of faculty before acceptance. Student presentations are generally in the format of posters: students orally explain and answer questions about their projects at a poster session during the conference.
In addition to panel presentations and roundtable discussions on a wide range of topics, keynote talks by renowned scholars and teachers, performances and exhibitions, the conference offers students an opportunity to network with each other and meet representatives of numerous colleges and universities, foundations, and organizations such as Fulbright.
Conference Program Chair: Dr. Jing Zhang (New College of Florida)
provides travel grants to undergraduate students.

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ASIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING
ASIANetwork invites applications for scholarships, up to $5,000 each, for the ongoing study of Asian languages at the undergraduate level. The award pays full or partial tuition for rigorous coursework in an Asian language not available at the student’s home college or university (e.g. no language courses at all are offered or higher-level language courses are not offered). Courses can be taken in-person, online, or in a hybrid format at accredited or reputable institutions in the USA or abroad. Applicants must have completed at least one year of language study by the application deadline. Scholarship awards can be applied for one to two semesters of language study during the academic year or four to eight weeks of summer coursework. Awardees are expected to engage in outreach activities and the promotion of language learning after completing their scholarship-funded language courses. .

STUDENT VIDEO CHALLENGE
The ASIANetwork Student Video Competition provides opportunities for students to express themselves creatively in a multimedia video. One track facilitates focused and direct interaction between students at ASIANetwork and Asian undergraduate institutions. Student teams will examine a current global issue from a comparative perspective and, in a multimedia video, present their conclusions. Another track invites U.S. students (solo or team) to present their research results on the program theme in a video. Winning entries receive cash prizes and will be promoted on the ASIANetwork website and featured at the Annual Conference. .
