Description
The Cambodian Scholar Research Fellowships, administered by the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS), provide direct research funding, in-country resources, and logistical support to Cambodian scholars and doctoral students in the social sciences and humanities. The fellowship enables recipients to pursue research projects that focus on Cambodia or place Cambodia within a broader regional or international context, with a requirement that some portion of the research is conducted in Cambodia. There are two main categories: Senior Research Fellowships for scholars holding a PhD, and Dissertation Research Fellowships for current PhD candidates. The program aims to strengthen Cambodian academic research capacity and foster professional development in Cambodian studies.
