Fairbank Center for Chinese studies aids student research
The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies supports and promotes advanced research and training in all fields of Chinese studies. The center collaborates with the Harvard University Asia Center to offer undergraduate and graduate student grants for Chinese language study and research travel.
