Awards and grants
Korean Studies Student Support
Monash University Korean Studies has been providing financial assistance to students who wish to study Korean or conduct research related to Korean Studies. As of October 2021, we have awarded $54,000 in bursaries to 24 different students.
Since the global pandemic in 2020, we have established two new award streams – the best student achievement award and the indigenous award. Awards have been given to students majoring in Korean who received the highest grade in Korean Studies units, as well as to an Indigenous Australian student who is majoring in Korean Studies. The first indigenous award has been awarded to Grace King, a third-year student who is currently completing her BA in Korean studies. Two other awards will be given to the two students majoring in Korean who received the best-combined mark in Korean Studies units over two semesters and will be announced in December 2021.
As awardees, students will receive a prize and will have the award recorded on their academic transcripts.
