Scholarships in Korea (incl. GKS)

• Embassy track — apply through the Korean embassy/consulate in your country; you may list multiple universities.
• University track — apply directly to designated Korean universities for that cycle.

Quota, eligible countries, and forms change each year. Always download the current NIIED / Study in Korea guidelines for your intake. See our GKS scholarship guide.

• Application forms, personal statement, and study plan
• Graduation certificates and transcripts (often apostilled)
• Recommendation letters on official letterhead
• Proof of citizenship and family relationship documents (as listed)
• Language scores (TOPIK, TOEFL, IELTS) when required
• Medical assessment forms at the stage specified in the guide

Missing apostilles or incorrect translation format is a common reason files stall — pair this with apostille Korea and certified translation.

Many universities offer foreign-student tuition waivers, department scholarships, and foundation awards. We help you:

• Compare scholarship fit with your shortlisted programs
• Align essay and document deadlines with admission calendars
• Keep a self-funded backup application when GKS is plan A

1. Map deadlines for your nationality and track
2. Build a document checklist with translation/apostille order
3. Review scans for name consistency and completeness
4. Prepare parallel university admission options if needed
