2010 NCTA/NAHF Summer Study Tour to Korea

The National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) and the Northeast Asian History Foundation (NAHF) invite seminar alumni from 2001-2009* seminars in California to participate in our 2010 NCTA/NAHF Summer Study Tour to Korea. 

World History teachers who have successfully completed an NCTA seminar coordinated by USC, UCLA or Stanford are eligible to apply.  (*Participants of Fall 2009 USCI/NCTA seminars are not eligible to apply.)  Selection for study tour participation is competitive.  No more than three (3) teachers from the three California sites will be selected to join 20 other teachers from across the nation. 

Individuals also applying for the 2010 California NCTA Summer Study Tour to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan should understand they can only be selected for one tour, not both.
