Application conditions
Rely on language achievement
The improvement of language ability is more conducive to scholarship application. Korean universities pay more and more attention to bilingual (Korean+English) teaching, which means that if Korean is average and English is good, you can apply for a good scholarship. The better you learn Korean, the more you can apply for a scholarship. Generally speaking, English is above TOEFL 90, and IELTS 6.0 can also apply for scholarships, especially for majors such as finance, trade and diplomacy. Good English is still necessary.
Letters of recommendation and study plans show personal advantages and are recognized by teachers.
There is no entrance examination in Korean universities, so the selection of students comes entirely from your "paperwork". If our recommendation letter is well written, the study plan is very detailed, and we express a strong desire to learn, the professor will be interested in you after reading it and will give you a scholarship.
If the graduate school has a strong background, the hope of getting a scholarship is still relatively great.
If your graduate school is famous, or the graduate school is particularly famous in some way, it can be reflected in the application materials. This will give you extra points and make it easier to apply for a scholarship. In addition, if you have the opportunity to interview professors, you can also increase the chances of applying, which requires international students to seize the opportunity to show themselves.
base type
Korean university scholarship
Many Korean universities will provide various scholarships for international students, and most of them will provide 30- 100% tuition reduction for outstanding international students.
Scholarships provided by the foundation
The Korea Scholarship Foundation offers special scholarships to international students who are interested in becoming future leaders in their research fields. Generally speaking, this scholarship is only for outstanding students pursuing postgraduate courses, and they can apply from the second semester. The bonus includes all tuition fee remission plus a bonus of 2 million won a year.
Government scholarship
This is a national scholarship selection project invited by the Korean government according to the Korea-China Education Exchange Agreement signed by the Korean and Chinese Ministries of Education. The Korea Agency for the Promotion of International Education (directly under the Ministry of Education of Korea) finally selects up to 50 winners (6 months to 1 year) from candidates who go to Korea to study master's or doctoral courses and research courses.
K2 1 (Brain Korea 2 1) Scholarship
This is a major project carried out by the Korean government to improve the research environment of universities. From 1999 to 2005, the Korean government will allocate10.4 trillion won (about 65438+400 million US dollars) for this project, mainly to improve the living and scientific research conditions of graduate students in various universities. In other words, give them scholarships.
Because it is shared by many schools, it is impossible for every student to get a lot of money, but it can basically solve the problem of eating. Take my school as an example. Each student is funded by BK2 1, so each student (Korean students and international students) will earn about 200,000 won every month (doctoral students are a little more than master students).
national scholarship
The South Korean government has issued a policy to substantially reduce the tuition fees of college students so that more students can receive higher and better education. Of course, this policy is aimed at all Korean college students, including foreign students in Korea.
Secondly, South Korea has also set up scholarships of different levels and quotas for international students to encourage more outstanding students.
To apply for a national scholarship, you need to provide personal certificates, or you can submit an application by the school department. If you can get a recommendation letter from a professional professor, you have a good chance to get a full national scholarship.
Social and corporate scholarships
Universities will also receive many social donations, especially similar to European and American university foundations. These funds come from donations from members of the society such as the Alumni Association and the support of large domestic enterprise consortia in Korea.
Applied skills
1. Language ability
Some universities in South Korea advocate bilingual teaching. If you don't get enough grades in Korean, you can make it up in English and apply for a scholarship.
Basically, in South Korea, if you are above topik3, you can apply for a reduction or exemption, and you can apply for a high scholarship above Topik 4. English is generally above TOEFL 90, and IELTS 6.0 or above can also apply for scholarships. Students who have a good English foundation or who apply for a university with English scores are still entitled to relief.
2. Both the recommendation letter and the study plan should be grasped.
Korean universities follow the principle of lenient entry and strict exit, and do not need entrance examinations, depending entirely on the application documents. If the study abroad plan is very detailed and comprehensive, it will leave a deep impression on the professors. Moreover, many practical majors are directed by professors, and some are similar to domestic graduate students, who need to follow the professor's projects and are likely to get scholarships from the school.
3. Participate in social activities and professional projects.
Most schools and majors are supported by fixed enterprises and consortia, so many social activities, professional research projects, employment internship projects, various exhibitions or competitions chosen by majors are good opportunities to obtain scholarships from enterprises, consortia and social funds. In addition to unlimited bonuses or subsidies, you can also exercise your ability and accumulate experience. Whether you return to work or stay in Korea, you are more competitive. There are also many projects that directly recommend employment and provide jobs, which is a very good opportunity for students.
4. Maintain academic performance
This is the most important one, and the evaluation is similar to the first one. In addition to dividing tuition fees according to language ability, many schools will also divide them according to their usual grades, such as comprehensive evaluation of credits, attendance and test scores. The better their academic performance, the higher the subsidy. I hope students Do not forget your initiative mind.
