2018 THE KOREAN HONOR SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES

The Korean Honor Scholarship(KHS)

The Korean Honor Scholarship Committee extends an invitation to Korean and Korean-Canadian undergraduate and graduate students to compete for the six available 2018 Korean Honor Scholarships. (Six scholarships will be awarded in Canada this year.)

The scholarship is awarded to encourage outstanding students who have Korean heritage to achieve their highest academic potential and develop leadership skills for their future careers.

To be eligible for consideration, applicants must be attending a college or university, at least both the 2017 fall and 2018 spring semesters in the Canada and must have an overall grade average of 3.0 or higher(on a 4.0 basis). In addition to the academic criteria, an essay, letters of recommendation, awards, honors, performances and extracurricular activities are also reviewed for the selection process.

This year’s scholarship restrictions have been modified. A student, who has previously obtained a KHS scholarship at the undergraduate level, may also apply again for a KHS Scholarship at the graduate level as well. (Previously, only one scholarship was given to a student, regardless of the academic level.)
