Preference is given to applicants who have a continuing interest in international development as evidenced by their area of concentration, course selection, and academic and nonacademic experience. These grants are funded by the Korea Foundation. Undergraduates and graduate students working toward a master's degree are eligible. Proposals from undergraduates must relate directly to a prospective senior honors thesis or comparable project involving Korea. Proposals from graduate students must relate to an A.M. thesis or to a required research seminar paper.
Projects are to be carried out in Korea.
Applications in the two categories are considered separately, with priority given to undergraduates. Grants are open to undergraduate concentrators and graduate degree candidates in all social sciences or humanities fields. Applicants must normally have two years of Korean language training or otherwise exhibit proficiency in the language.
