Overview
This program is designed to promote Korean studies and foster young scholars in this field by providing graduate students majoring in Korean studies in North America with scholarships for their coursework and/or research while enrolled at their home institutions. It covers students only through the year that they are advanced to candidacy and only if they are in residence and not engaged in overseas research. Please refer to the Korea Foundation Fellowship program for research abroad funding possibilities (see www.kf.or.kr).
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
1. M.A.- or Ph.D.-level students majoring in Korean studies at any university in North America.
2. Fields of Study: Korea-related coursework and research in the humanities and social sciences, culture and arts, and comparative research related to Korea. Natural sciences, medical sciences, and engineering fields are not eligible.

b. M.A. sStudents: Up to two (2) successive years
3. Scholarship amounts will be determined by the review committee, but generally will be in the range of $10,000–$20,000. Awards will be provided in the form of flat stipends and are intended to cover living expenses and/or tuition costs.
4. Scholarship recipients are required to submit reports on their academic/research activities at the conclusion of their scholarship periods.
ELIGIBILITY:
1. Applicants will be expected to show sufficient ability to use Korean-language sources in their study and research. This ability should be mentioned in the applicant's cover letter, and in addition, one (of three) required letters of recommendation must be a language reference from an advisor or language instructor attesting to the student's language ability.
2. This program is intended for students majoring in Korean studies at U.S./Canadian universities. Korean nationals studying in the United States or Canada are also eligible to apply for the Fellowship.

SELECTION PROCEDURE:
The Advisory Committee for the Korean Studies Program for North America will serve as the review committee, evaluate applications and recommend selections. The selection process follows the normal practices and procedures common to standard peer reviews in the United States. The process of peer review is intended to ensure that applications are judged fairly by a panel of experts and to prevent either the actuality or the suggestion of improper interference on the part of the organizations involved in designing, administering or funding the competition.
