Introducing KoSASA Scholarship for Postgraduate Students

Prof. Lovell shared that this was his first time visiting USSH. The reason for choosing the University as the place to introduce the KoSASA (Korean Studies Association of South East Asia) scholarship is because USSH is a member of the network of leading universities studying Korean in Southeast Asia. The University is also known as the leading Korean studies training unit in Vietnam.
