A summary of korean scholarships
1️⃣ Outstanding Scholarship in School
- The first is the scholarship for foreigners in the school. This scholarship is selected every semester, and you can get it if you study hard. In the case of Kyungpook National University, if your grades last semester are in the top 7% of college students, you can receive tuition exemption (about 80% exemption).
- So I have to study really hard during the semester. Isn’t it great to get good grades and get scholarships?
2️⃣ TOPIK Scholarship
You can get a Topic Scholarship if you get a higher grade than the topic grade you got before entering school! In the case of Kyungpook National University, if you are in level 3 before entering the school, you can get 500,000 won if you get level 4 after entering the school. I heard that other universities also have topic scholarships. Everyone, let’s actively look into it
Topic seems to be very important to our foreigners, so the higher the grade, the better!
3️⃣ GKS Foreigners Excellent Charity Scholarship
GKS Foreign Outstanding Charity Scholarship is a scholarship for foreign students with good grades in Korean information!

❗ This scholarship does not take grades and Korean proficiency tests. So my grades and topics aren’t that high, so try applying!
5️⃣ Work scholarship
A work scholarship is a scholarship that a student receives in return for working at a school or related institution. It is paid in return for work, so you can receive benefits regardless of whether you receive other scholarships.
Various activities are opened in the school, so you can actively participate and receive scholarships.
Last year, I was selected as a foreign undergraduate transfer tutor for the second semester of 2022 organized by Kyungpook National University’s International Exchange Office and helped two freshmen in our department settle down in Korea.
Points to note for working scholarship students
First of all, if you have pre-education at the university, be sure to attend. Here, education is conducted on procedures to be done before entering the work book, timetable input, and cyber orientation. You have to complete all of these before you can enter your actual online attendance book. If you miss the deadline for entering the online work book (within one day) because you don’t do this, you may experience an unprecedented situation in which you can’t get paid for working even after working.
In addition, the online attendance book is required to be entered within 12 p.m. on the working day, and if this period is exceeded, the student’s right to enter the online attendance book will disappear forever. Of course, the person in charge of each workplace has the right to enter the commuting register, but some universities adhere to “absolutely not to enter” as a guideline, so please enter it within three days.
After selection, the timetable for the semester is required to be entered on the website of the Korea Scholarship Foundation. Unless you are a disabled student helper, you cannot enter the work book during the time when the timetable is entered, so it is against the regulations to work just because a temporary vacancy occurs due to the cancellation of classes. In general, universities are allowed to enter the timetable until the course correction period or cancellation period, and after that, they must separately request the university manager.
I’ve introduced you to many scholarships(A summary of korean scholarships ) so far!
Everyone, apply actively and get a scholarship~😊
