We are pleased to inform you that The Korean Council for University Education (KCUE) in collaboration with the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF) launched the Higher Education for ASEAN Talents (HEAT), a full scholarship opportunity for ASEAN faculty members to support acquisition of a doctoral degree in Republic of Korea with the aim to enhance their expertise and promote people-to-people exchanges between Korea and ASEAN universities.

Each year 30 scholarship recipients (the ASEAN faculty members representing their university) from 10 ASEAN Members States will be selected (3 persons per country), and each person will receive a full scholarship for three years. KCUE will cover tuition, living expenses, and other costs. Participants will receive a Doctoral degree from a Korean university after completion of the program.

HEAT is funded from ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF), and Korean Council for University Education (KCUE) is the implementing agency of the HEAT project.
