Get £500 for Korean Language Studies at Richmond  

We are delighted to announce a new £500 cash scholarship for students of Korean language, thanks to the generous support of Samyang Foods.

The scholarship will be awarded to students enrolled in KOR4101 (Korean Language Beginner 1) and KOR5101 (Korean Language Beginner 2) during Fall 2025, as well as those who previously completed KOR4100 with strong academic and attendance records.
