This program is open to anyone in the world including Korea. A preferential consideration will be given to those whose research topics on Korea or Koreans will best utilize USC’s resources not available elsewhere and/or those with limited Korean Studies resources
at their own and nearby institutions. However, applications need not necessarily be limited to USC’s unique collections. We will consider all applications based on the strengths of the research proposal and our library’s overall ability to support the research.
