Global Korea Scholarship 2024 | Fully Funded

Applications are currently being accepted for the esteemed and fiercely competitive Global Korea Scholarship 2024. Formerly known as the KGSP Korean Government Scholarship Program, GKS 2024 replaced it. This master’s and PhD program is totally sponsored by scholarships. The Korean government is funding this scholarship opportunity. More than 1300 foreign students from 155 countries who desire to study for a master’s or doctorate degree or conduct research in Korea will be chosen through the KGSP 2024.

Every student that is chosen will be assigned to a different South Korean university. The Korean Ministry of Education wants to boost competitiveness and international exchanges. Since 2016, almost 104,000 overseas students have benefited from this Korean scholarship. There are no restrictions on fields, giving every applicant a wide range of professional alternatives. Applications for the KGSP 2024 can be made in one of two ways: either by sending their supporting documentation to the Korean Embassy in their home nation, or by going straight to the Korean university.

One of the best and most competitive scholarships in the world is the Global Korea Scholarship for Graduate Degrees, which is offered by South Korea. Other fully-funded international scholarship programs like the Dutch Government Scholarship Stipendium Hungricum Scholarship, the US Fulbright Scholarship, the Chinese Government Scholarship, the Australia Awards Scholarships, the Turkey Burslari Scholarships, the Austria Government Scholarship, the Brunei Darussalam Scholarship, the Romania Government Scholarship, the New Zealand Government Scholarship, and the Daad Scholarship in Germany are comparable to it.

Why should someone study in Korea? South Korea provides well-prepared scholarships, affordable living expenditures, and reasonable housing costs when compared to European nations. All overseas students also experience various South Korean cities, investigate international laboratories, and develop cross-cultural understanding.
