ASEM-Duo Program
Definition
ASEM member countries form a pair (Europe-Asia) and exchange personnel. Upon exchange, scholarship is provided through this program. ASEM-Duo has scholarships available for: Duo-Korea, Duo-France, and Duo-Singapore
Which countries must exchange in order to apply for this scholarship?
This is an exchange between ASEM member countries, so the applicant must check if their country is a member of ASEM. (There are 25 ASEM member countries: Greece, Denmark, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, England, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Austria, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, and Brunei.) Duo-Korea exchanges with European ASEM member countries. Those applying through Duo-Korea must be affiliated with a Korean educational institute and must find a pair amongst one of the European ASEM member countries. If a European ASEM member country wishes to exchange with Korea, the Korean educational institution must find its pair, then the applicant may apply to Duo-Korea through the Korean institution. But, a formal exchange agreement must exist between the Korean and European educational institutions. Scholarships will be provided to both students when selected. When forming pairs, the candidates must be from the same domain (i.e. student-student) and below is the definition of a student :
* A student is defined as someone enrolled in a formal educational institute obtaining a degree (undergraduate, masters, or ph-d)
Who can apply for candidacy?
There are minor differences between programs. Active undergraduate, graduate, and professors may participate in this program. For example, Elementary, Middle and High school teachers may also apply, but if they have already graduated and are not active in an educational institution, they are not eligible to apply.
How do you apply?
The International Relations Team will inform you of the documents needed once the plausibility of the 1:1 exchange with the European sister school has been confirmed. Students must then fill out the application and submit necessary documents to the International Relations Team.
Do all applicants receive benefits?
The ASEM-Duo scholarship foundation decides who the beneficiaries are; therefore, benefits are not guaranteed.
