In 2022, Geiss-Hsu Foundation Scholarships were awarded to ten students of books and printing in the Ming world. Each scholarship covered full tuition for one of Rare Book School’s courses on Asian books, including:
- H-85 The History of the Book in China
- H-140 The History and Culture of the Tibetan Book
- H-160 The History of Books and Printing in Korea
- I-85 Japanese Prints and Illustrated Books in Context
Eligible applicants included professionals whose work focuses primarily on the study or care of cultural artifacts from East Asia, as well as non-specialists wishing to develop an interest in this area. Recipients were expected to submit a brief report reflecting on their course experience and its relation to their research and professional endeavors.
The Geiss-Hsu Foundation Scholarship was made possible in part by an award from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.
