The Korea Foundation, a nonprofit organization, was established in Seoul of the Republic of Korea in 1991 to promote awareness and understanding of Korea throughout the international community, and to enhance goodwill and friendship through the implementation of various international exchange programs.
The South Korea Scholarship Program is administrated by CIEE in partnership with The Korea Foundation. The Korea Foundation created the Korea-US Youth Network in hopes of exposing Korean culture to a diverse array of U.S. students from various backgrounds. During the program, participants will be hosted by Yonsei University, which is located in Seoul, South Korea. This short term program features highlights of Korean culture, language, and history.
Yonsei University is a separately contracted partner of the Korea Foundation and as such they commit to providing a custom-tailored cultural program to our participants. Yonsei University staff will be the official hosts of our students.
The Korea Foundation reserves the right to review and accept all applicants along with CIEE staff.
