Indiana’s Window to Korea: Support IU’s Institute for Korean Studies

By Global and International Studies

Empower global learning -- support study abroad in Korea, graduate travel grants, dynamic Korea-focused colloquium programs and much more!

More Info

You can help open Indiana’s window to Korea—wide enough for our students and community to see and experience one of the world’s most dynamic regions. When you give to the Institute for Korean Studies (IKS) at the Hamilton Lugar School, you bring Korean culture, scholarship, and global perspectives into focus for everyone at IU.

Give students the world

Your support helps undergraduates' study abroad in Korea, turning curiosity into firsthand experience. Students immerse themselves in the Korean language, history, and culture—returning with new insights and expanded horizons.

“During my sophomore summer study abroad in Korea, I explored the country in a new way through film and history, meeting directors like Ryoo Seung-wan and Lee Chang-dong. Visiting the DMZ highlighted two countries rooted in the same history. These experiences showed that study abroad refines perspectives through firsthand immersion.”
— Elizabeth Choe, undergraduate student in International Studies and EALC (Korean)

Send IU scholarship around the globe

Your gift helps support graduate students’ travel to conferences to share research, exchange ideas, and represent IU’s excellence in Korean Studies.

“The IKS Fellowship was fundamental to my graduate experience in Korean Studies, providing funding that let me fully dedicate myself to studies and research. As a student from Brazil, it offered unique academic opportunities, networking, and resources unavailable at home. I am deeply grateful for its support in my academic and professional trajectory.”
— Gabriela dos Santos, MA student in Korean Studies

Keep Indiana connected to Korea

Your generosity helps bring distinguished speakers through the IKS Colloquium Series, deepening understanding of Korea’s past, present, and future.

A $500 gift could fund one student’s study abroad or travel grant. Reaching $4,000 could support 8 IU students next year. Every gift—large or small—opens Indiana’s window to Korea wider and empowers students to see the world anew.
