Global Korea Scholarship 2027 (Fully Funded)

The Global Korea Scholarship is a fully funded award for international students in South Korea. It supports undergraduate, master’s, and PhD study at Korean universities. The Korean government manages it. Many applicants also compare it with other fully funded routes. For example, some look at the MEXT Japanese Government Scholarship, another major option in Asia.

First, scholars get full tuition. Also, they get a monthly allowance. Plus, they get flights and a Korean course. In short, the award covers this.

This part matters a lot. GKS runs two separate tracks, not one. The Embassy Track lets you list up to three universities. Meanwhile, the University Track applies directly to one partner school. This two track setup is close to the split system used for the MEXT Japanese Government Scholarship, which also runs separate routes.
