Korea Institute-Sogang University Summer Scholarships (Tuition Waiver)
Sogang University provides two tuition waivers for undergraduate students to attend the Sogang International Summer School (SISS), which includes their summer Korean language program. For more information on the Sogang International Summer School: http://summer.sogang.ac.kr
Scholarships include full tuition waivers to attend the Sogang University summer program, plus (economy class, non-refundble) airfare. Students are responsible for housing, meals and living expense costs.
**Students are encouraged to apply to OIP (Office of International Programs) for David Rockefeller funding to cover the above costs not covered by the Tuition Waiver. Note that Rockefeller grants are for a period of 8 weeks. Or apply to OIP for an OIP Summer Award.
The Korea Institute may offer a round of very limited supplemental funding, only after other primary funding sources have been sought
