AKS Hanmun (Classical Chinese) Fellowship · Advanced Course
The Academy of Korean Studies
KRW 750,000 per month; economy round-trip airfare; free AKS guesthouse; accident insurance.
Non-Korean undergraduate, master’s or doctoral students majoring in Korean studies at an overseas university. Coursework-completed students may apply; graduates may not. Prior basic Hanmun coursework and advanced Korean proficiency are required. This is non-degree language and research training at AKS in Korea, not admission to a Korean degree. No numeric TOPIK minimum or parental-nationality requirement is stated.
The 2026 advanced-course re-announcement is closed: online applications March 24–April 13, 2026 through the AKS website. Submit the application, enrollment or coursework-completion certificate, an academic-advisor recommendation explaining the need for Hanmun, and prior Hanmun course proof or an AKS Hanmun completion certificate. Include a TOPIK report if previously taken. Documents must be Korean or English, or accompanied by notarized translations. Shortlisted applicants interview individually; the announced interview period was April 21–30. The notice does not announce a 2027 application window.
Closed · Scholarship application deadline: 2026-04-13 KST

One 2026 training session, September 1–December 18, at AKS. Submit a final report at least 15 days before the session ends. Concurrent financial support from another institution cannot be received. A later session requires its own published call; no automatic renewal is stated.
