The American Center for Mongolian Studies (ACMS) announces several
fellowship opportunities: the ACMS Research Fellowship Program, The

Mongolian Language Program. ACMS aims to improve funding and study
opportunities for scholars in Mongolia. These programs offer scholars
opportunities to conduct research, study, and gain professional
experience in Mongolia. Details on each fellowship are below.

The ACMS Research Fellowship Program annually supports three fellows to
conduct up to twelve months of doctoral dissertation or post-doctoral
research in Mongolia on topics in the Social Sciences or Humanities.
Natural Science research is not eligible, unless there are clear areas
in which the research furthers social, cultural, political, or policy
knowledge relevant to Mongolia or the region. Fellowships cover travel,
living, and research expenses and include funds for purchasing books.

advanced undergraduates to pre-doctoral candidacy students. Fellowships
cover travel, living, and research expenses. For further information
