Description
The Korea/Asia Grant Program supports researchers and scholars studying East Asia, including Korea, through research at the George Bush Presidential Library. Administered by the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs at Texas A&M University’s Bush School of Government and Public Service, the program is supported by a Korea Foundation endowment. It was formerly administered by the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation.
The program advances the Institute’s mission to foster and disseminate policy-oriented research on international affairs. It prioritizes projects with strong prospects for publication and subsequent usefulness to educators, scholars, students, and policymakers, as well as work that brings newly available research materials to light. Projects must draw on the Bush Library’s holdings, though researchers may also use other materials.
