In addition to teaching degree courses, our faculty regularly advise and engage with students from the time they arrive on campus for orientation through graduation and beyond. The Rajawali Institute is proud to support students with tuition assistance and a host of co-curricular opportunities, including funding for student-led events and initiatives, research and applied learning experiences, study groups, and more.

Support for Student Initiatives and Study

The Ash Center supports certain HKS student-led events and initiatives as well as independent study. Preference is given to projects with Ash faculty involvement and applied learning opportunities that overlap with the Institute’s core research and programmatic priorities.

If you are a student that has a question or inquiry please contact Laura Ma, Associate Director, Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia and China Programs, Laura_Ma@hks.harvard.edu.

Lee Kuan Yew Fellows

The Lee Kuan Yew Fellows Program brought a group of 20 to 25 mid-career students to HKS for one semester each year. Coming from every country in Asia, these students were candidates for the Master in Public Management degree at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. The student fellowship program was the cornerstone of the Ash Center’s Singapore program, which included a number of joint research projects, case studies, faculty exchanges, policy conferences, and executive education programs. The Lee Kuan Yew School was officially launched in 2004, dedicated to educating and training the next generation of Asian policymakers and leaders. Its objective is to contribute to the transformation of Asia by raising the standards of governance throughout the region and improving people’s lives. It inherited the Policy Programme that NUS had set up with Harvard Kennedy School in 1992.
