[Jungeun Hong]

Dear Koreanstudies community,


The Korean Heritage Library (KHL) at the University of Southern California (USC) is pleased to announce research grants for students, researchers, and educators in Korean Studies. Thanks to generous support from the Overseas Korean Studies and Heritage Foundation (OKSHF), these grants provide financial assistance to scholars traveling to the USC Korean Heritage Library to conduct on-site research related to Korea and Korean Studies.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
This program is open to scholars worldwide, including those from Korea. Applicants must reside at least 100 miles from the USC campus to be eligible.
Preference will be given to those whose research on Korea, Koreans, or the Korean diaspora would particularly benefit from USC's resources that are not readily available elsewhere and/or to those with limited access to Korean Studies resources at their home or nearby institutions.
All applications will be evaluated based on the strength of the research proposal and the library's overall ability to support the proposed research.
USC's archival collections on Korea and Korean Americans can be found here<https://libraries.usc.edu/locations/east-asian-library/east-asian-archival-collections>.
