South Asian Studies Rustgi Fellowships

The South Asian Studies Council at The MacMillan Center offers Rustgi Fellowships for summer research grants to students with a demonstrated commitment to the field of South Asian studies. The general purpose of these grants is to increase understanding of the region among Yale students. Although graduate students may apply, preference will be given to undergraduates. The fellowship is made possible through a gift from Anil Rustgi (Yale ’80), Vinod Rustgi (Yale ’75) and his wife, Eileen Boyle Rustgi (Yale ’77) in honor of their parents, Moti Lal and Kamla Rustgi.

Application Information: It is the applicant’s responsibility to see that the complete application, including letter of recommendation and transcripts, reaches us by the deadline; applications cannot be considered without this information.

Applicants will be notified of the Committee’s decision by late April. For more information contact the South Asian Studies Council at 436-3517.

Yale University policy requires that certain types of research projects involving human subjects be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the start of the study to ensure that the project meets University Policy and any other applicable regulations. To see if your project needs to be reviewed, for advice on working with human subjects, and for more information about the IRB process and requirements go to www.yale.edu/hsc/Investigator/Student_projects.pdf.
