In 2022 Middlebury partnered with the National Institute for International Education (NIIED), particularly the English Program in Korea (EPIK), to provide funding for our Korean MA degree to qualified alumni in recognition of their commitment to language and cross-cultural exchange.

Funding

Depending on your demonstrated financial need, you are eligible to receive significant funding. More details.

Eligibility

EPIK alumni are eligible for our need-based graduate financial aid and an application fee waiver for the Master of Arts in Korean. Our financial aid is awarded in the form of grants, not loans. This means that if you qualify, you will attend the School of Korean at a reduced cost.

Deadline

Applicants need to apply by the MA in Korean application deadlines.
