Student spotlight:
Emily Meek
Throughout my two years in the MA program, the Institute for Korean Studies at IU has offered me an excellent education in Korea’s history, culture, and language. From engaging courses and wonderful professors to fun events like holiday celebrations and movie screenings, IKS has facilitated an incredible program and community. Because of IKS, I was given the opportunity to excel in my graduate studies as I pursued my interest in the history of modern Korea. Now, as a recent graduate of the program, I’m prepared and excited to further my education and career in the study of Korea.

The fellowship is provided with the support of a Core University Program Grant from the Academy of Korean Studies. The fellowship includes a stipend and tuition remission. There is no need to complete a separate application to be considered for this fellowship.
