Recruitment for 2nd Cohort of Korea-US Advanced Field Youth Exchange Scholarship Program

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 29th that it is recruiting the 2nd batch of scholarship students for the 'Korea-US Advanced Field Youth Exchange Support Project.' This project is a follow-up measure to the 'Korea-US STEM Youth Exchange Initiative' agreed upon by the leaders of both countries in April last year to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance. The ministry selected 222 scholarship students in the first half of this year as the first batch. The Korea-US STEM Youth Special Exchange Initiative is a project in which both Korea and the US invest a total of $30 million over four years to support the exchange of 2,023 students.

The Korea-US Advanced Field Youth Exchange Support Project selects outstanding STEM youth in Korea and provides scholarships for exchange students to US universities (semester: $9,000, two semesters: $18,000) and supports participation in experiential programs to experience advanced US industry and technology.

The Ministry plans to select 118 STEM undergraduate students to be dispatched to US universities for the spring semester of 2025 through this recruitment announcement. The application period is from the 29th to September 26th. Application documents are accepted through the international office of the applicant’s university.
