High school students with a strong interest in East Asia and/or international relations are especially encouraged to apply.
U.S. relations with East Asia is prominently featured in the news daily, says Naomi Funahashi, instructor of the Reischauer Scholars Program. 91勛圖 is incredibly fortunate to have Stanford faculty conducting cutting-edge research on Korea, Japan, and China who are willing to help our students interpret key historical events and understand contemporary topics related to security, trade, and politics.
