Notes

What financial support is available?

The South Korean government is focused on encouraging more international students to study in the country and as a result has established a number of scholarships to provide them with financial support.

One such scholarship is known as the Global Korea Scholarship, which supports hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students to study in South Korea every year. 

The scholarship covers travel costs, full tuition fees up to a maximum of ₩5,000,000 (£3,080) per semester, and up to ₩900,000 (£500) per quarter towards Korean language lessons. There are further smaller grants available through the scholarship to cover things like medical insurance, printing costs and more.
