Korean Government Scholarship Program for Undergraduate study in South Korea (Fully Funded)

0 Shares

The Global Korea Scholarship is intended to provide international students with opportunities to pursue academic degrees at higher educational institutions in Korea, thereby enhancing international education exchange and deepening mutual friendship between Korea and participating countries.

As a result of the integration and branding of Korean government scholarship programs as Global Korea Scholarship, in 2010, the names were changed to GKS (Global Korea Scholarship)

The Korean government is inviting 125 international students from 67 countries to study in Korea for a bachelor’s degree.

Any candidate must successfully complete the first screening process provided by the Korean Embassy in his or her place of origin in order to be selected as a GKS recipient.

The candidates to the Regional University Track can apply exclusively to departments specified in the fields of science, technology and engineering.
