Thanks to our KS Seed Program projects (funded by KSPS, the AKS, Korean Ministry of Education),  UPEI’s KS and Asian Studies Programs are also offering several popular student-centered programs and opportunities the academic year of 2024–2025 as follows:

• KS Student 장학금 Scholarship
  Three awards given annually: $1,000-$1,200 each.
  Three outstanding students (incl. at least one international student) who have completed two or more KS courses will be selected and awarded in June 2025. Selection criteria are overall excellent grades, class participation and interest in and contribution to Korean and Asian Studies. No formal application is required.

• Student Assistantship
  We are continuously hiring and mentoring UPEI students as program or research/teaching assistants. For example, George Jiang (an international student) has been hired and mentored since Sept. 2022 to assist the Director’s administrative and research work and KS project’s activities and events. 10 months each year and 2-4 hours weekly at the rate of UPEI’s HR student wage.

• Student Workshops:
  Special student orientation sessions on AST and KS program, annual course offering, scholarship, courses, and activities. Done each year and five times since Feb. 2018 in class rooms or the UPEI Faculty Lounge (Main building) with refreshments. This year (2024–25), we plan to do one workshop in Oct. 2024 or more likely in Jan. 2025. Stay tuned.
