The Jihoon Rim Foundation Scholarship offers a transformative opportunity for exceptional undergraduate students of Korean heritage. Each year, we select 20 outstanding students to join our community.
The Award
Beginning with the 2026 cohort, we are doubling our scholarship award to $10,000 per student to support their academic pursuits and future success.
Beyond Financial Support
Our program is built on the power of community and mentorship. Scholars gain invaluable insights from our founder, Professor Jihoon Rim, and form a powerful peer-to-peer network with fellow scholars who are leaders in their own right.
A Community for Life
The scholarship's commitment to fostering a strong network extends throughout the year, with a series of gatherings designed to help recipients form lasting connections and friendships.
Annual Reception: An exclusive event in New York honoring each year's recipients.
Annual Reunion: An all-cohort reunion in New York for current scholars and alumni.
Regional Gatherings: Alumni meetings hosted in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C.
