US Scholarship

LiNK's Scholarship Program supports North Korean students and students of North Korean descent pursuing post-secondary education in the United States.

The scholarship is designed to support the education and career aspirations of North Koreans and their children who have demonstrated a strong desire to pursue higher education and are changemakers, advocates, and leaders on this issue.
