About this opportunity

The Global Korea Scholarship for Foreign Exchange Students is organized by the Korean government to provide continual opportunities for international exchange students to study in Korea and delve into Korean culture. Any international student with academic merit is eligible to apply for this scholarship program, and will be required to take at least one course on Korean language or culture during their semester abroad. The Government will select the top-qualified students within the given number of slots for each year. This scholarship is specifically for undergraduate exchange students who have been officially nominated by their international partner university and maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher out of 4.0. The scholarship provides comprehensive support including round-trip airfare reimbursement, a monthly stipend of KRW 500,000 for 3 months, a one-time settlement allowance of KRW 200,000 for the first month, and medical insurance coverage.
