Here’s your shot at studying in South Korea this Fall — fully funded! Chungbuk National University (CBNU), one of Korea’s top public universities, is calling ambitious, research-oriented international students to apply for its G-Cruit Scholarship Program for the Fall 2025 intake.
This isn’t just a scholarship — it’s your gateway to a dynamic academic journey with cutting-edge research, global professors, and Korea’s innovation ecosystem.
Why the G-Cruit Scholarship Stands Out?
Forget the traditional routes — CBNU’s G-Cruit system is Korea’s first professor-connected scholarship portal. When you apply, your documents are sent directly to over 100 participating professors who are actively looking to recruit talented international students for their labs and projects.
If you don’t choose a specific professor, no problem — the department office will distribute your application. With 100 scholarships awarded annually (and growing!), your chances are strong.
What’s in It for You?
- 100% Tuition Fee Coverage – Study with zero tuition burden
- Monthly Allowance – Up to 2,500,000 KRW depending on the professor or lab (≈ USD 1,900)
- Flexible Application – No complicated steps; just upload your CV, academic transcript, and English certificate
- Research-Oriented – Professors are more interested in your research potential and academic fit than just your GPA
- Easy Contact – Get matched with professors who are actively hiring!
