Up to seven new Korean Ancestry Grants, with a maximum grant of $20,000 will be available for the 2010-2011 academic year. The exact number of Korean Ancestry Grants will be decided both by the number of exceptional candidates and by the amount of available Foundation funds.

Recipients of the Korean Ancestry Grant maintaining at least a 3.50 GPA may apply to renew their award up to three times or until the completion of their undergraduate degree, whichever comes first.
