South Korea's BK2 1 project has a huge amount of funds, but due to the large number of schools participating in the project, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of money. From every school to every student, the amount of real scholarships that can be provided in the end is relatively small. ?
The advantage of the BK2 1 program implemented by the Korean government is that every student who participates in the program can get financial aid from the program, amounting to about 200,000 won per month. If international students are pursuing doctoral programs, the amount of funding will be higher.
International students studying in Korean universities can also get an additional subsidy of10.2 million won, so that international students can basically solve the problem of living expenses for one month by receiving funding and subsidies from the Korean government. ?
Not every university in Korea is a member of BK2 1. Before applying for a school, international students can check whether the school is a participant in BK2 1. At the same time, international students also need to know about the use of funds in BK2 1. Some schools or professors withhold more funds, so international students should know more and choose carefully.
There are two ways for international students to get scholarships:?
I. Obtaining scholarships unconditionally provided by the school: The top ten universities in Korea basically have scholarships for international students. Many famous universities in South Korea grant graduate students 100% tuition-free scholarships.
The second is to apply for a well-known university of science and technology (graduate students only): students with first-class grades can get scholarships in this way.
There are three kinds of scholarships for international students in China: government scholarships, university scholarships and scholarships provided by some foundations.
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. ?
Scholarships offered by universities? 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.
