Tips for Meeting the Requirement
- 1.The East-West Center requires only IELTS 6.0 overall with 5.5 in each band — one of the most accessible requirements among US fellowships. This lower threshold reflects the programme's commitment to inclusivity across the Asia-Pacific region.
- 2.Even with a lower minimum, aim for IELTS 6.5+ to be competitive. The fellowship is selective, and a stronger English score demonstrates your readiness for graduate study in Hawai'i.
- 3.The cross-cultural community aspect of the programme means strong speaking and listening skills are valuable beyond what IELTS measures. Practice engaging in group discussions on international topics.
