Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP)

The Korean Government Scholarship Program (KGSP) offers international students the opportunity to study in Korea with full funding for tuition, living expenses, and more. This scholarship is designed for both undergraduate and graduate students, providing a comprehensive support system that includes a language training year for those without prior Korean proficiency. The program aims to foster international exchange and cooperation by attracting talented students from around the world.

KGSP not only covers tuition fees but also provides a monthly living allowance, airfare, medical insurance, and a settlement allowance. The scholarship is competitive, with two application tracks: the embassy track and the university track, allowing applicants to choose the pathway that best suits their needs.

Open to international students from all countries. Applicants must meet specific academic and language requirements depending on the program level. No prior TOPIK score is required to apply, but having a score can enhance the application.
