The Korea Institute at Harvard University provides fellowships to support Harvard doctoral candidates whose research focus is on Korean literature. The main purpose of this initiative is to support students who are no longer eligible to receive funding from GSAS financial aid and to foster the growth of young scholars working on Korean literature and culture broadly conceived, with a preference for proposals that include some aspect of Korean translation. You must address this aspect in your statement. The fellowship ordinarily supports students of G5, G6, and G7, but not the finishing year. Grants will range up to $25,000. A student may not receive this grant more than twice. Funding is provided by the International Communication Foundation (ICF) of Seoul, Korea; the fellowship program is housed and administered by the Korea Institute at Harvard University.
