Program Postponed to 2026: Why and What’s Next

Written By Hugh S Tuckfield

The Indo-Pacific Studies Center has postponed the launch of its 2025 Mastering Strategy and Policy in the Indo-Pacific course to early 2026.

This decision follows a high volume of applicants from across the region—particularly South Asia—requesting financial support. We are currently working to secure external funding to ensure equitable access and a globally respected learning experience.

The next cohort will commence in February 2026, with applications reopening later this year.

All current applicants will be notified when the updated course and scholarship information is released.
