This highly sought-after scholarship presents an exceptional opportunity for newly-admitted international graduate students to pursue their academic dreams at one of Asia’s top-ranked universities. The GSFS offers a comprehensive tuition fee waiver for up to four (04) semesters, significantly easing the financial burden of higher education. In addition to tuition support, recipients will also receive a monthly stipend for a specified duration, providing vital living expenses.
Prospective students are urged to submit their applications for both SNU admission and the GSFS concurrently through the official application portal: https://en.snu.ac.kr/admission/graduate/application.
Crucial Eligibility Details to Note:
- Nationality: Both parents of the applicant must hold foreign nationality.
- Educational Background: Applicants who have graduated from domestic (Korean) universities are NOT eligible for this scholarship.
- Designated Colleges/Schools: To be considered for the GSFS, applicants must apply to specific colleges or schools within SNU that are designated for the program. While a major list is available for reference, any student applying to a designated college in the official guidelines is eligible.
