Korean is a critically important language that holds strategic political and economic value for the United States. Korean is spoken by over 75 million people living on the Korean peninsula. South Korea’s economy is the 12th largest in the world, and its global influence has increased in the 21st century through the spread of Korean popular culture.  \nAs you prepare for the workforce, you may have language-specific questions about the opportunities available to you. This guide will present an overview of language learning opportunities, including scholarships, summer learning programs, and university classes, and guidance for further developing your Korean language skills through independent study to help you prepare to use these skills in a federal job. The links here reflect high-quality government and university resources, which you may use as a starting point for doing your own research to find the resources that work best for you.  \nAs you continue to learn the language, you may find it helpful to consult the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (in English or Korean) to track your progress. You may also want to refer to the government’s Korean Roadmap to find a list of resources grouped by level.  \nLanguage Learning Opportunities Scholarships  \nThere are many scholarships available for Korean study, including scholarships for study abroad. You can even begin in high school with the National Security Language Initiative for Youth program, which awards scholarships to high school students to participate in summer and academic year immersion programs. Undergraduate and graduate students can apply for the Boren Awards to help fund study abroad with an intensive language study component. If you are specifically interested in summer language study abroad, consider the Critical Language Scholarship Program. College seniors, graduate students, and young professionals can apply for Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants to pursue graduate study, conduct research, or teach English abroad in South Korea. In addition to these government-sponsored scholarships, there are many private and school-specific scholarships, so be sure to search for other funding opportunities.  \nPell Grant recipients can apply for the Gilman Scholarship to fund study or internships abroad, and you can enhance this scholarship with a Critical Need Language Award for Korean. ROTC (Reserve Officers’Training Corps) students can apply to Project GO to enhance your language and intercultural communications skills. Your school may also have specific scholarships for language or area studies, so it may be helpful to talk to professors or financial aid officers to see what opportunities are available.  \nAdditional Opportunities  \nApproximately 150 colleges and universities in the United States offered Korean classes as of 2016. Even if your school doesn’t offer classes, you can explore summer learning opportunities and the individual learning resources listed in this guide. If you are in high school through sophomore year of college, you may want to participate in a STARTALK program.  \nIf you are still thinking about where to apply to college, you may want to consider the University of Hawaii, Manoa, which hosts the only Korean Flagship Program. The Flagship program offers students from various majors the opportunity to pursue advanced level language study, including an overseas study and internship experience, culminating in certification as a Flagship Certified Professional. Other colleges offer specific tracks for heritage learners, so be sure to look for these programs, too.  \nGuidance for Developing Your Skills  \nAs a heritage speaker, you may want to focus on practicing your reading and writing skills to help your literacy skills match your speaking and listening skills. You may also want to study Korean vocabulary fora specialized field, su","cbCaiiEti27ESfDL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiEti27ESfDL","pdf",140374,"English","# Introduction\n# Language Learning Opportunities\n## Scholarships\n## Additional Opportunities\n# Guidance for Developing Your Skills","[{\"question\":\"What scholarship programs can support Korean study or immersion?\",\"answer\":\"The guide lists several options, including the National Security Language Initiative for Youth, Boren Awards, the Critical Language Scholarship Program, and Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants.
