Year Abroad Bursary

*Deadline is April 6th, 2015*

The British Korean Veterans Association through the Bursary Committee of 
the British Association for Korean Studies is offering bursaries to 
undergraduate students on programmes of full-time academic study in

programme, and which requires the student to spend a full academic 
session or part-session in Korea receiving intensive language tuition 
for the period of stay in Korea.

Scholars and staff at British Universities where a full undergraduate BA

The Scholarship currently has a maximum value of £15,000 per annum, but 
the final award will be at the discretion of the Trustees.

The Scholarship offers a suitably qualified candidate the opportunity to 
live and work in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) whilst pursuing 
postgraduate study.  Subject to suitability, the successful candidate 
will be able to study for a one or two-year course in the Republic of 
Korea.  The Scholarship will cover tuition fees, living expenses, return 
flight costs and travel insurance.  It is expected that the successful 
student will travel to the Republic of Korea in March 2016 at the 
beginning of the Korean academic year. However, there is some variation 
between individual universities as there is also a September entry.
