The Center for Asia Pacific Studies is proud to introduce this coming year’s recipients of the Don Reid Sogang University Scholarship. This scholarship offers students, enrolled in a degree under the College of Arts and Sciences, the opportunity to immerse themselves in Korean culture and academics through a month long exchange at Sogang University in Seoul, South Korea.

During their time abroad, these scholars will deepen their understanding of Korea’s rich language, history, culture, and society while building cross-cultural connections and gaining valuable international experience. We’re excited to support these scholars as they embark on this transformative experience and represent the University of San Francisco in South Korea.
