The Northeastern University Global Asian Studies Program is pleased to announce the inaugural 2024 winners of the Korean Studies Student Award. This distinguished award is designed to empower students with unique opportunities to enhance their academic and professional experiences through study abroad, research, internships, and co-op placements in South Korea. It marks the first time that Northeastern is offering financial support for students going to one of the most dynamic and important countries in the world.
Please see the profiles of the winners below. We are proud to support such a dynamic group of future leaders as they take their next steps toward making a significant difference on the global stage.
The award is supported by the South Korea Initiative Fund, a generous gift from the Min Family to help promote a better understanding of Korea and its place in the world among the Northeastern community.
The Korean Studies Student Award Committee consists of Professors Eunsong Kim, Doreen Lee, and Philip Thai.
