2011 Sumitro Fellowship (USINDO) for U.S. and Indonesian Citizens

Overview

Indonesia Society (USINDO) invites U.S. and Indonesian citizens to apply for the 2010 Sumitro Fellowship, a travel/study grant for post-doctoral scholars, Ph.D. candidates, senior academics, and otherwise professionally qualified candidates to engage in field research on projects related to the Indonesia-United States bilateral relationship.

The Sumitro Fellows program honors Dr. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia’s senior economist and advisor to USINDO, who passed away in 2001. An architect of Indonesia’s modern economy, Professor Sumitro headed the faculty of economics at the University of Indonesia, and was later a minister of trade and minister of state for research. Professor Sumitro was also the driving force behind a 1950’s program of the Ford Foundation which sent Indonesian economists to the U.S. for advanced degrees. Many attended the University of California at Berkeley and the group came to be known as the “Berkeley Mafia” when its members assumed key cabinet posts in subsequent decades.

The Sumitro Fellows grant for the 2011 application cycle is $10,000.


Eligibility: Applicants for the U.S. Sumitro Fellowship must be United States citizens or permanent residents in the United States with a specific project on Indonesia’s political economy. Applications outside the scope of economics or political economy will not be considered. Applicants for the Indonesian Sumitro Fellowship must be Indonesian citizens with a specific project on any aspect of the Indonesian-U.S. bilateral relationship. Applications related strictly to American topics, or non U.S./non-Asian themes will not be considered. Applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age and/or physical impairment. Applicants must also be capable of advanced study in English. Evidence of English fluency may be demonstrated by TOEFL scores.

USINDO will announce the winner in January, 2011.
