Center for Security Policy Studies

Student Fellowship Application (Spring 2025)

The Center for Security Policy Studies Korea (CSPS-Korea) encourages George Mason University Korea students who have special academic and professional interests in security policy to consider applying for the CSPS-Korea Student Fellowship.

CSPS-Korea selects a small number of upper-division undergraduates with outstanding qualities and capabilities. These highly competent students will execute leadership in exploring security policy studies and act as a bridge between CSPS in the Arlington and Korea Campuses.

During the fellowship, student fellows will visit security-related institutions, conduct research projects, coordinate CSPS events, and establish communication with CSPS in Arlington. In addition, student fellows are expected to actively participate in seminars, conferences, and forums organized by relevant institutions to broaden their knowledge on security issues in East Asia and beyond. We highly urge students who are interested to apply for these exclusive fellowship opportunities.

Requirements

Applicants must be committed to the fellowship at least for a full academic year and be willing to perform given tasks. The fellows will also write articles, reviews, and research papers on security-related topics. The fellowship requires an annual reapplying process. A certificate will be given to the fellows who participated for a full academic year.

To apply, an applicant must meet ALL the following requirements:

  • A Global Affairs major or minor
  • GPA higher than 3.5
  • Have taken GLOA 101, Government courses, OR other relevant courses
  • Competence, enthusiasm, and professionalism in given tasks
