[SHUTTERSTOCK] Studying in Korea can get expensive, but there are ways for students to get some financial help with a range of scholarships offered by universities, embassies or other institutions — the most coveted being the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS). For students like Beata Silfvernagel, a new GKS scholar, the grant is their ticket back to Korea. Silfvernagel first came to Korea in 2020 for language studies and was excited about the opportunity to come back. “I wanted to go to Korea, but I did not know how,” said Silfvernagel, “I was adamant that I would go, but I would have had to take out student loans to fund studying abroad.” The GKS is a government scholarship created by the National Institute for International Education (Niied) and is offered to 200 prospective undergraduates and 1,080 prospective graduate students on average per year. Silfvernagel is currently studying a year of language studies before enrolling as a full-time student at Ewha Womans University. Currently, prospective undergraduates and graduates from 67 nationalities can apply for the scholarship. Applicants with a previous grade point average above 80 percent and adequate mental and physical health can apply for the grant through their Korean embassy or directly with the partnering university they wish to enroll at. The GKS is competitive — the quota per country varies, with most only accepting one applicant. As such, students can apply multiple times before being selected for the scholarshi...

Hello! I’m a current student at Seoul National University, getting my Master’s at the Graduate School of International Studies. Following my undergraduate graduation, I received the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) which is currently funding my program. I’m here to tell you about the process and realities of living in Korea as a Scholar! Seoul National University What is GKS? GKS is a scholarship program given by the Korean government to support international MA and PhD students. It’s a three year program for a Master’s degree; covering one year of attending Korean language school, and two years of a graduate program. What was the application process like? The application process has two tracks: university track and embassy track. I would suggest going through the embassy track, especially if you are trying for one of the top SKY universities (SNU, Korea University, Yonsei). If you go through the university track, the amount of applicants you’re competing with is much higher. The embassy track has two stages; in the first round, you are selected as a scholar by the Korean embassy in your home country, and in the second round, your application is forwarded to the universities listed on your application. That means you are essentially by-passing the traditional admissions processes at your intended university, so you don’t need to worry about submitting additional documents, your original scholarship application is enough. The application is free, though it will cost money to ...
