United Board

The United Board is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization committed to supporting education that develops the whole person – intellectually, spiritually, and ethically – within colleges and universities in Asia. The United Board has worked exclusively in Asia with a variety of higher education institutions for over 90 years. Our programs and grants support institutions to improve the quality of education. We sponsor professional training for faculty, administrators, and trustees, and foster linkages and networks among Asian institutions of higher education. Our current focus is on five program areas: leadership development for higher education; faculty development for enhanced teaching, learning, and research; campus-community partnerships; culture and religion in Asia; and special initiatives.

In recent years, we have worked with more than 80 institutions of higher education, from 15 countries and regions (including Japan, Cambodia, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, India, China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Macau, and Timor-Leste), providing scholarships, fellowships, training, professional development, project grants, and general support to promote whole person education in Asia. Our offices are in both Hong Kong and New York.
