   Korean language scholarships take the form of immersion programs in which students can take advantage of the opportunity to enter Korea and learn the language. Sometimes, these Korean language scholarships award students with financial aid to fuel their studies in a particular course in Korean. Many of these scholarships and awards are available to qualifying students who, most times, have developed their knowledge of Korean over a period of time. Governments, Korean organizations and Korean schools that sponsor exchange programs are some good channels through which you can explore and find these scholarships in 2010.
