Given the Korea Society’s commitment to promoting a greater awareness, understanding, and cooperation between the people of the U.S. and Korea, this travel grant, initiated in Fall 2023, has been created to ensure a wide-range of undergraduate students have the opportunity to study and live in Korea. For some, the high cost of travel to and from Korea can present a significant burden, and personal funding for travel within the country can be nonexistent. This travel ‘topping off’ grant has been developed to defray travel expenses for students who would normally struggle financially, to realize the life-changing experience of studying abroad, the soft-skill development which future employers want, and—most importantly—the chance to cultivate an in-person understanding of Korea, a country of strategic importance to the U.S.
