About the Light Fellowship
The Richard U. Light Fellowship Program fully funds Yale undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students pursuing intensive language study in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean for terms ranging from a single summer to a combined summer plus academic year. Light Fellows undertake rigorous language training alongside intense cultural immersion that prepares them for a lifelong engagement with East Asia.

The Light Fellowship held a virtual Q&A session during the Yale 2020 Virtual Academic Fair to answer any specific questions students might have. For a more in depth overview of the Light Fellowship, please attend one of the many information sessions we will host during the fall term.
