Visiting Scholars

Visiting Scholars are those who, while they continue full-time employment at an institution, have been granted leave and financial support to pursue research. Such scholars may visit the University of Washington for a limited period (usually one year or less) for purpose of interaction with students and scholars on campus, and research. 

The Korea Studies Program has no office space to offer, but can sponsor a limited number of visas, and provide for access to such University of Washington institutions as the library. In recent years demand has exceeded our capacity and we have had to limit the number we accept. We now evaluate applications only four times a year in December, March, June and September. Scholars who wish to apply for visiting status should provide us with a CV, an affidavit of support from their institution, and a plan of study. Material should be sent to: 

Korea Studies Program
Jackson School of International Studies
Box 353650
University of Washington
Seattle, WA 98195

Applications need to be received by December 10, March 10, June 10 or September 10 for the relevant competition. Scholars should plan to apply a minimum of three months before they would like to arrive. Evaluation will take several weeks.
