Due to budgetary constraints at the Academy of Korean Studies, our partner institution in Korea for this program, we were unable to implement this program. With the authorization of the Freeman Foundation, we re-programmed the allocated funding to provide scholarships for our summer institute entitled "Korea and the Silk Road" to ten American educators residing outside of the greater New York area. The benefits of the scholarship included a tuition waiver, per diem expenses for five days (hotel room/single occupancy plus a $100/day allowance for meals, local transportation and incidentals), and reimbursement for actual travel costs up to a maximum of $300.
