Carrie Gordon Tribute Grant

The Carrie Gordon Tribute Grant provides funding of up to $10,000 to a Princeton in Asia Fellow or recent alumni (within five years of their PiA year) to work in Asia beyond the end of the fellowship. The funding must be used to support a public service project of the Fellow's choice that best embodies Carrie Gordon's spirit, enthusiasm and commitment to public service. The projects may be personal, such as a Vietnamese-American fellow who would like to build a library in her family's home village, or wider-ranging, such as a fellow in Thailand who needs support for a project to bring eyeglasses to all the students in the area in which he taught. Criteria for selection will include the project's impact, feasibility and sustainability, as well as the qualifications of the applicant. This grant honors the legacy of Carrie Gordon, Princeton in Asia's former Executive Director from 1994-2003, who was known for her pride in the accomplishments of PiA Fellows and her unwavering belief in the importance of enabling young people to pursue their passions.
