Round-trip economy-class travel between the grantee’s home of record and Korea will be provided by KAEC. Any restrictions on this benefit will be detailed in a grantee's Fulbright Award Authorization.
Travel benefits may be provided for one (1) primary dependent of a Fulbright U.S. Scholar whose award is for a full academic year or ten (10) months. This travel benefit is available only if the dependent will remain in Korea for 80% or more of the official grant period, as established with KAEC. No travel benefits are available for dependents of Fulbright U.S. Students. Irrespective of travel benefit status, flight arrangements for dependents may still be made through KAEC’s partnering travel agency, Miju Travel.
Round-trip tickets must be used within one (1) year of arrival in Korea. Grantees whose intended stay in Korea exceeds one year from the date of arrival to the date of departure must notify KAEC well in advance of their departure plans. Grantees who fail to provide sufficient advance notice will lose their travel benefits. Those who provide sufficient advance notice may be able to receive partial reimbursement for the ticket cost of the return leg. However, please note that this reimbursement will be significantly less than the original cost of the ticket.
At KAEC’s instruction, grantees will contact Miju Travel to finalize their flight itineraries. Within the limitations of the guidelines stated in the Award Authorization document, and Terms & Conditions, grantees may make voluntary changes to their itinerary prior to departing for Korea. However, these voluntary changes must be approved by KAEC and are permitted on the condition that any additional charges are the responsibility of the grantee. Grantees must fly with American or Korean carriers.
Please note that grantees are required to arrive in Korea on a business day; arrivals on weekends and holidays are not allowed.
