Next Steps for Selected Scholars
For those whose names appear on the final list:
- Read the attached “Important Notice for 2025 GKS-U Scholars” document. This guide contains crucial instructions for preparing your journey to South Korea, including visa processing, travel arrangements, and pre-arrival requirements.
- Familiarize yourself with your CS Number (GKS Scholar Number), which will now serve as your primary identifier in all communications with NIIED and your designated university. Note that this differs from your initial Candidate Number used during the selection process.
