All travel must follow current guidelines, which are detailed in the International Institute Travel Policy.
The Summer in Korea Scholarship provides annual awards to support travel to Korea to attend Yonsei International Summer School, on Yonsei University's main Shinchon campus in Seoul, Korea. Scholarship recipients must take at least one Korean language course in addition to subject courses.
The scholarship will cover the application fee, full tuition, dormitory charges, and program fees for YISS. In addition, it will reimburse recipients' airfare up to $2,500.
Important Note: Students must apply to and be accepted by YISS through the Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) Summer at Yonsei in Seoul, South Korea program in order to be eligible for the Summer in Korea Scholarship. For more information and application, see this M-Compass page. Note that the CGIS application deadline, February 1, is much earlier than the scholarship application deadline.
