Awards
The Royal Society for Asian Affairs Travel Awards support practical projects and research that have the potential to contribute to advances in scholarly or other public knowledge including, but not limited to, post-graduate degrees, journalism and travel writing. The awards are intended to support individual travel and may not be used for commercial purposes or to fund participation in activities arranged by another organisation.
Applicants must be aged 21-28 at the time of application. Applicants may be of any nationality but should be normally resident in the UK.
In light of the difficulties of international travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, awards are not currently being offered.
