Support for Korean Studies Courses
Overview
Support for the Establishment of Professorship
The Korea Foundation provides financial support for the creation of new professorships in the fields of Korean studies and Korean language education at universities in countries other than Korea that are equipped with the infrastructure necessary to maintain an adequate level of related research and education and have future growth potential. Through this program, the KF funds the establishment and maintenance of two types of professorships: (i) tenure-track positions, which recipient universities agree to permanently maintain from their own resources after the end of the KF’s initial support period, and (ii) endowed chair positions, which recipient universities agree to maintain permanently through an endowment fund jointly established with the KF.
Support for Employment of Contract Faculty Member
The KF provides partial funds to universities abroad seeking to hire contract faculty members (non-tenure track) with the goal of creating or expanding their Korean studies or Korean language program.
