CIEE Announces Full Scholarship for Spring Break Program in South Korea at Yonsei University

January 27, 2010

CIEE has been selected by the South Korea Foundation to administer a spring break program for 75 students, running March 13—22, 2010. Participants will receive a full scholarship for the program and will be hosted by Yonsei University in Seoul. The program is intended to be a cultural exchange for students who have had little to no exposure to Korean culture and is aimed at fostering understanding and diplomacy between the U.S. and Korea. Yonsei University will organize academic lectures, tours, and cultural excursions for participants. Yonsei University is a separately contracted partner of the Korea Foundation and as such they commit to providing a custom-tailored cultural program to our participants. Yonsei University staff will be the official hosts of our students. This program is not for credit.

The application deadline for the program is February 8, 2010. Applications are expected to be competitive so please encourage interested students to submit applications early.

Please forward information to eligible students, with home university spring breaks from March 13-22, to review over the winter break. Additional program information and application materials are available at www.ciee.org/southkorea.

If you have any questions regarding the program or the application process, please contact the South Korea Scholarship Team at CIEE by emailsouthkorea@ciee.org or phone 1-800-40-STUDY.
