A graduate of Brooklyn Law School, where he received his juris doctorate, Mark Fung also attended Harvard University’s Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies for post-doctoral training. The Fairbank Center operates two graduate research grants.

Taiwan Study Grant. Grants are made available to graduates of Harvard University to cover the expenses of studying in Taiwan, which can include independent research, work at an academic institution, or attendance at academic meetings. Preference is given to studies of the social sciences and humanities, particular those examining post-1949 Taiwan. In some cases, grants are provided for researchers studying imperial China.

Summer Research Grants. These grants with a broader focus are open to all graduate students conducting summer research relating to or in Taiwan or China. Generally speaking, the grant is limited to $3,000 and recipients are asked to submit a report on their work upon return.
