How to write your personal statement and SOP for GKS-Graduate Scholarship. Tips for interview!!

January 21, 2024

By Smriti Ekka

Writing an effective Statement of Purpose or Personal Statement is a frequently asked question among the students who apply for a GKS Scholarship for the first time. The main purpose of this article is to help you write such a statement.

So today I have mentioned some points that I have broken down into small segments which will be easy for you to understand how to write your own personal statement and statement of purpose. ALSO some tips for the interview that will make you sound more promising while applying for the GKS 2022 scholarship for Masters and PhD in Korea.

To check the GKS Field of study and guidelines click HERE !!

PERSONAL STATEMENT

Like the word suggests. The student should write his/her experiences, achievements, values. The reasons to study abroad and apply for the scholarship might not be so unique, thus, the way it is written should be impactful.

The following key question can be formed and written in a way that would sound promising and you can include the following questions like :

Why did you decide to go to graduate school ?
Why you chose Korea and what you can do in Korea after your graduation ?
How GKS benefit in your field of study ?

Things should be mentioned in detail. Analysis on all those parts can further be broken down into small segments for easy evaluation and understanding.

The first part can be very idealistic.
Second part should be practical.
Third part can include all the summary of what you have mentioned above.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

A real Statement of Purpose shows that you have thought through why you are doing the course, rather than exclaiming a wish to be one day employed. Even if you have fully considered your reasons for undertaking further study, it is not uncommon to feel a certain self-consciousness about writing about them.

Statement of purpose definitely contains your goal of study. Statement of purpose definitely contains your goal of study.

The first part could be started with a quote. That's done by most of the people. Followed by explaining what you'll do in " that " specific University !!

The answer shouldn't be like " You wish to study with that professor." Those types of answers are always along the line. But your answer should be more promising like, how you will be generating more knowledge together. With the help of such a good facility how will you be able to contribute and take advantage of such opportunities given to you.

You can explain how being able to get such knowledge you can help others and expand your field of study and contribute much more.

The second part of it can include the research interest. How is it going to help you in your field of interest?

Since Korea is among the top 5 OECD countries that spend most on research & development studies constituting 4.46 percent of South Korea's GDP. Hence a lot of the students around the globe are interested to study in Korea because of the facilities/benefits provided which includes

Monthly allowance
Two way air fare
Monthly allowance which will be enough for you to survive in Korea.

With all these facilities they want you to focus solely on the research and provide the best result afterwards. Your focus should be to fully invest your time in the research and make use of the guidance by being under the professor of your department.

The third part could be the research topic. After the research topic you need to explain about the research topic
You can include why you have the necessary aptitude to succeed in GKS ?

Things that will ultimately make you stand out from the rest of the students after you have completed your graduation. You have to convince and prove your worth and give that commitment to the professors in writing what you will ultimately be providing them in the end.

To stand out from the rest of the students if you have already done some studies in your field or have published some papers already or doing some work in some specific areas. Chances are that your worth could be easily measured looking at those results.

In the future plan. You can break it down into two parts:-

Long term goals and short term goals.

In long term goals you can write keeping in mind about the next five years and short term could be what you can achieve in the coming few months maybe.

For the short term you can mention how KGSP will help you in achieving those dreams. It shouldn't include what you want to do after kgsp BUT how can KGSP help you to achieve those goals of yours !!

There's a difference between the two and mentioning the latter can increase your chance immensely !! You can also list down the goals down below which should be closely linked to your graduate studies.

For the long term goals you can also mention in detail about how long you'll be staying in Korea and what will be your field of study after graduation and then probably going back to your country, you will continue working in the field of yours.

Eventually you have to mention how the KGSP is going to help you to achieve those long-term goals of yours.

You can easily write about your long term goals by adjusting what you have already mentioned in the short term goals and try to add two or three points in it to make it sound appropriate . It shouldn't be lengthy. Just explaining two or three points would be enough.

It is actually mentioned that you have to score TOPIK 3 and above to give you an extra 10 points while selection. BUT as long as you have something that makes you stand out from the rest of the students that would be enough for you to get into any university. For example fluency in Korean, research skill or entrepreneur skills.

Tips for the Interview !!

Mainly the interview is very nerve wracking and people are very nervous before giving the interview keeping in mind that it's for the research and professors may ask you questions regarding your field of knowledge and you should be thoroughly prepared for it.

Questions linked to your major.
Questions related to the documents that you have provided.
Question can also be a close link to why you have chosen that particular University auditor field of study and why Korea was your destination for studies.

Confidence is the key and how you articulate your thinking well enough for the professors and teachers to pick you from the crowd.

The key point would be to emphasize on the things that you are actually good at and make it your key point.

The best suggestion I will give you is to prepare something in Korean even if you don't speak it properly.

Having some knowledge of Korean will always give you that " extra edge" even if you are preparing to go to Korea in general. Not to mention it is highly appreciated if you're doing any kind of studies in Korea.

They might ask you to introduce yourself in Korean so prepare small sentences that you would be confident in.

Since you are applying to learn and improve your abilities, it is important to make that goal clear in the statement of purpose.

Those were the few points that would be helpful in writing your personal statement and statement of purpose. Hope you found this article helpful. Please write your doubts below if you have any.

Thank you !!

A Journey to KGSP/GKS: Personal Statement

Finally, here is my third post on A Journey to KGSP/GKS Series. Previously, I wrote about my experience in preparing for the KGSP/GKS application back in 2016 and just before this post I wrote about how to fill in the KGSP/GKS Application Forms . This time, I’ll be sharing my two cents on how to write a Personal Statement, one of the essays of the GKS Application. When I prepared my application, it took me around 3 months to finish writing both essays. I remember starting to write as soon as I decided to apply for the scholarship in November, putting it off for a month or so, coming back and forth for the revisions, and finishing it a few days before the application closing date.

The GKS application forms have included the essay template with instructions and points to include which I found very helpful. I always enjoy writing, but writing an essay in English for studies back then was especially hard because English isn’t my first language and I never learned writing academic English properly. Here are some tips that I did and I wish I had known when writing my essays for the GKS Application.

Personal Statement template (2021 GKS Application)

First, find your application’s identity. “Why do I want to study in Korea and apply for this program? Why should the reviewer choose me among hundreds of applicants?” These questions are the ones that I kept coming back when writing my Personal Statement. As I kept digging the reasons, I somehow found the identity of my application, a statement that will clearly describe me and hopefully will leave an impression for the reviewers.

I see Personal Statement as a stage to promote myself. It tells a story about me, my personal values, and significant events that happened in my life which lead me to aspire to study in Korea and apply for the GKS. The goal is to convey my story in the most impactful way possible that no matter how ordinary it is, the reviewer will still remember me after reading other hundreds of similar or even better stories. To do this, I don’t think I can merely rely on a list of achievements and experiences I have because they probably aren’t so outstanding among other applicants. That is why I need to put an identity into my application, to make my story stronger than my own name.

In my case, “an applicant majoring in Family Studies” is the identity that I highlighted. Given that Family Studies is not a common field of study especially in Indonesia, regardless of how important it is for our society (don’t get me started into Family Sciences 101. Lol.), I guess it was the strongest point of my application that granted me a seat for an interview in the Korean Embassy. I could be wrong, but the interviewers asked about it during the whole interview session.

Second, make your essay hook. If you put yourself in the reviewer’s shoes who has to deal with a hundred applications, how will you sort it out? There are sure other considering points such as grades that are quite easy to determine. But, when it comes to essays, how will you rate it and choose from a pool of applicants? Just like its name, a Personal Statement should be personal yet interesting. Personal; it tells who the applicant is, his/her experiences, achievements, values. Interesting; no matter how different every applicant’s life story is, the reasons to study abroad and apply for the scholarship might not be so unique, thus, the way it is written should be fascinating and impactful. That is how an essay hook will make your application stand out and assure the reviewers that you deserve one seat until the final round.

There are many ways to write an essay hook; quotation, question, strong statement, metaphor, etc. You may try many different ways before finding the one that matches the big picture of your essay. An essay hook is aimed to attract the reader since the beginning of your essay. This is also related to the whole picture of the essay and the information in the next paragraphs. As I decided to emphasize my major in Family Studies, I open my essay with the story about my own family and what values I was grown up with. I also wrote about how people used to ask what my major is about and whether it really is necessary to learn about family sciences at university. I keep this point as the whole idea of my essay which helped me to explain why I had to go to a Korean university.

Third, be reflective. Reflecting is such a habit to me. You know, that tendency to lay awake in your bed and replaying what has happened that day in your head and what you could’ve done to make it better, or at least, to make yourself feel better. Well, I learn that doing it isn’t always good. But, when it comes to reflecting on your past experiences and achievements in your Personal Statement, I can never stress enough how important it is. After mentioning all your precious achievements and writing how eventful your life is, you need to explain what lessons learned that you get, what skills you learn, and how they contribute to who you are today. It might sound cliché to write about how your leadership skills have been sharpened through many organizations, but I don’t think it will do you bad to show that you have learned from your experience.

Fifth, make an outline. To me, an outline always does wonder. You might have ever practiced it for school assignments. It’s really as simple as starting from the points mentioned in the essay instruction; (1) family background, (2) latest education, (3) significant and relevant experiences (working, internship, organization, clubs), (4) motivations to study in Korea and apply for the GKS. You can write down ideas for each point and add a few sentences for the explanation. As you develop each point, you may want to write it in 1-2 paragraphs and keep it as your main idea. This will surely help your writing stay on track, lead the plot and transition from one idea/point to another without jumbling up.

Sixth, don’t expect to finish it in one night or even one-seating and then submit it on the next day. Only after giving it some time and re-reading it a few days later that you’ll notice every mistake in your essay, those misspellings-wrong tenses-wrong expressions, even if you’ve been very meticulous especially when it comes to writings. Also, I can never stress enough how you should stop yourself from editing those punctuation marks or misspellings while typing because it will put your idea on hold and take much time to finish your first draft.

Finally, ask someone to proofread your essay and give feedback. I received a lot of help from my English tutor who gave valuable feedback on my essays. Having someone read your essay sort of allows you to get through the pre-review and the nerve-wracking of the application screening process. Also, your essay will look different from someone else’s perspective so it’s important to get their feedback even if it’s as simple as word choices. Especially, because Personal Statement is an essay about ourselves, we can easily understand it but it can be hard to be objective. Your best friend will tell you some confusing parts, things that you should explain better, or simply tell whether the storytelling is interesting enough.

There are a lot more awesome tips all over the Internet on how to write a great Personal Statement essay. These are basically what I did when I wrote my own for the GKS application. I have no idea exactly which part of my application that granted me the scholarship, but I believe that the Personal Statement had its big share.

3 Tips for Writing Your Personal Statement

Published by

For the GKS application, you will have to write a personal statement and study plan. While it may seem daunting at first, the process of writing a personal statement is simply one of revision. When preparing, you should put aside time to write your essay, wait a few days, and come back with fresh eyes to see your previous mistakes or generally reconsider what you wrote. Besides this, we have three more tips for you when it comes to writing your personal statement!

1. Plan before you start writing

Before even starting to write, make a list of some of the things you want the essay reader to know about you. What kind of person are you? What experiences shaped you as a person? What are your goals and dreams? Why do you want to study in South Korea specifically? After thinking about these kinds of questions, try to find some commonality among your answers. Any good personal statement will have a clear flow and good organization, so make sure to link your answers logically.

For example: As a child/teenager/etc, I did __ which led me to study/do __ in high school/university. This made me realize __, and I became interested in __. In the future, I want to ___.

This is, of course, much simpler than your actual essay and is only a guideline. But if you begin with this organization in mind, it will be much easier to write a basic draft that has good structure, which is important in any essay.

2. Don’t use ChatGPT or other AI tools

With AI tools like ChatGPT becoming more and more popular these days, it can be tempting to want to use them when writing your essays. DON’T DO IT! A personal statement has to be personal to you. AI does not know you, your goals, your dreams, or your experiences. All of these things are integral parts of what makes you a unique applicant. In addition, it can be very obvious to tell the difference between what you wrote and what AI wrote. Overall, it’s not worth using these sorts of tools as they remove your personality from the essay and may negatively affect how your essay is viewed.

3. Check your Personal Statement with others around you

In the past, my biggest mistake with writing application essays was not having enough people read them. When writing an essay, there are times where it will seem like your essay is good but you can’t see the small mistakes or typos. A statement or idea may be clear to you, but to others it may be confusing or unclear. By having friends, family, counselors, etc. read your essay, you can improve on the general clarity of your personal statement. It’s advice you’ll hear often, but for good reason… it really does make a difference!

I hope that these three tips will help you as you navigate writing your GKS personal statement! Still have questions? Check out our Instagram account and free counseling or paid document review services where our GKS Mentors can help answer more of your questions!

Research Program: It is usually a one-year or six-month scholarship program.

Students must take a one-year Korean training course at an allotted center.

Those who have completed TOPIK 5 or 6 can skip the Korean language course. Instead, you can enroll directly in a degree program.

The TOPIK certificate is valid for 2 years. Thus, you must have passed the previous year, and its validity should not expire. NIIED updates the deadline to submit and the last test they consider.

GKS scholars who receive TOPIK level 5 or 6 within the first six months of the Korean program. They don’t need to finish the remaining 6 months of language training. As a result, they can start their degree program in the following semester (March 2024).

Upon completing a 1-year compulsory Korean learning, all GKS scholars must achieve at least TOPIK level 3 . If not, they cannot continue with the degree program.

The embassy track and the university track are two different types. There are 663 available through the embassy, and the remaining 615 are from the universities.

Candidates will receive 100% funded scholarships. This covers all costs regardless of the channel they apply through.

Of all the 1278 GKS seats, 663 are available for the embassy track.

This includes 603 General + 20 Overseas Koreans + 30 Korean Language Teaching Professionals.

In the general category, they chose 603 candidates from 145 countries.

They have reserved 20 quotas for overseas Koreans from 13 nations and 30 seats for Korean language teachers from 24 countries.

They also select 10 candidates for the research programs. So there are five quotas from five countries (Armenia, India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Turkey). And they pick the remaining 5 from 145 participating nations as mentioned in the list.

Korean language instructors cover school teachers and professors at universities. Also, they should teach Korean at a government-approved institution.

The government-authorized education institution does not include for-profit after-school academies, institutions, or organizations.

Five seats on the university track are not subject to a country’s quotas. Thus, any applicant from 76 NIIED-designated nations can apply.

See the quota for General Program and Science & Engineering majors of the Regional University Program below.

How to Apply?

The application period is usually February-March for GKS graduate programs (Masters, Doctorate, and Research). In contrast, GKS for undergraduates takes place in September.

Visit the official Korean government website for all relevant information. You can also access the application forms.

Those who wish to apply for the Global Korea Scholarship Program can do so in two ways. We know these as ‘the embassy track’ and ‘the university track.’

Choosing one or the other track depends primarily on the applicant and their country of origin.

This is because countries receive different quotas and channels. It depends on what place you are from. You may pick either the embassy or university track or both.

Let’s take a closer look at both tracks in detail.

The Selection Processes

There are two ways.

The most significant difference between both tracks is applying to 3 different universities through the embassy track.

On this track, the applicant must apply to the Korean embassy in their country.

They award scholarships to students if one of three universities accepts their applications. There are three rounds on this track.

This route requires applicants to submit their applications directly to the Korean university they wish to attend.

The applicant becomes a GKS scholar once the university accepts their application. Unlike the embassy track, which comprises three stages (Embassy * NIIED * University), the university track is just two stages (University → NIIED).

The selection process is simple. However, depending on your chosen track, you may encounter diverse rounds during the selection process.

The NIIED first invites its Korean embassies and domestic universities to recommend candidates. Students can then send their applications to the preferred Korean college or their home country’s embassy.

After reviewing the applications, the embassies and universities recommend candidates to NIIED.

After the first round is over, the NIIED evaluates applicants who passed. They selected the university track applicants as GKS grantees at the end of the evaluation process.

Candidates who go with the embassy track will advance to the third round.

The universities review the applicants in the third round. At least one university must admit the candidate to pass this round.

As soon as a university accepts the candidate as a student, they become GKS scholars.

Selection Criteria

During the selection process, a committee evaluates each applicant.

The selection criteria and committees can vary from round to round. Still, some factors can contribute to an applicant’s selection.

In this statement, applicants must describe their motivation to apply for the GKS graduate scholarship.

Besides, the candidate can discuss their interests or background.

Applicants must outline their goals and study plans. Applicants may also address their future goals.

Let’s say the applicant is applying for a research program. They must state their research plan and goals in this case.

Candidates may submit letters of recommendation. The importance of these letters varies from university to university.

Certificates of language ability may also affect your evaluation. For example, they give preference to candidates who already know Korean well.

Other factors are publications, awards, academic transcripts, extra-curriculum activities, achievements, interview performance, etc.

Certain factors can help you get some extra points and enhance your prospects.

TOPIK level 3 or above can fetch you extra points, 10% of total allocated points. Plus, they give preference if you submit scores of English language tests like TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS.

They give preference to Ph.D. degree holders in Natural Science and Engineering for research programs. You get an edge for majors in the same field if they have to pick on the same marks as other candidates.

Professors are currently teaching and belong to one of 104 ODA countries. Then, they get preference when they decide on the same marks.

They also give preference and extra points to descendants of Korean War veterans (5% of the total points), low-income and underprivileged families, third-generation overseas Koreans, and majors under the industrial, professional training project.

Each country has its own deadline for submitting applications. It may vary between 3 and 4 weeks. This is because the embassy of the country in question sets these deadlines.

The rules and guidelines also differ across universities and embassies. So, check with concerned embassies for updates and accurate information.

An unsuccessful candidate for an embassy track can reapply to a university track. But this is not possible if the candidate has cleared the first round.

The applicants from China and the Czech Republic must apply directly to the CSC under the Ministry of Education in China and the Czech Ministry of Education. This is because of the bilateral agreement.

Depending on which program you choose, the deadline will also vary. You can find all about the Global Korea Scholarship program on the official website.

Q1. I am currently studying at a Korean university pursuing a Master’s degree. Can I apply for the Master’s program under GKS?

A1. Yes, you can if you are not a Korean high school or university graduate. The GKS-G is also open to previous exchange or visiting students who have not received a certificate or diploma. Once selected, you drop out of your current university. Then, you apply to GKS as a first-year student. Your prior credits are not transferable.

Q2. I’m in the last semester of a Korean university’s UG or PG course. I will get my degree soon. Can I apply for the GKS Master’s or Doctoral program?

A2. No. You are ineligible to apply if you expect to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Korea. Overseas Korean adoptees and previous GKS scholars who expect or have completed a degree in Korea can apply. But previous GKS scholars can reapply only once for a higher degree.

Q3. Can I apply for a Master’s or Doctoral program if I expect to complete my Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in August 2024?

A3. You may apply if you have an official certificate of expected graduation. Or a provisional degree certificate from the university. But you must submit your last degree and academic transcript to NIIED by August 31, 2024. Otherwise, they will cancel the scholarship.

Q4. My parents and I hold different citizenship. Am I eligible for this program?

A4. Yes. You can only apply if you are a citizen of an invited NIIED designated country and your parents are not Korean citizens.

Q5. I meet all the requirements listed in GKS-G’s application guidelines. Can I apply to all GKS-G partner universities?

A5. No. These are the minimum and specific requirements for the GKS-G application guidelines. Universities and departments may need specific language abilities, other qualifications, and research experience. First, check the “University Information” file in the guidelines section. There you will find extra requirements. Then, send it directly to the university if they ask for it.

Q6. Is it possible to apply directly to NIIED for the program?

A6. No. You can apply at a Korean Embassy where you hold citizenship or directly via a partner university. For questions, refer to the guidelines. Or contact the embassies and universities where the first selection round will occur. This is because university requirements may vary. You must send all applicants’ documents to the Korean embassy where you hold citizenship, whether you live in Korea or another nation.

Q7. When is the application deadline?

A7. Both the university and the Korean embassy decide when to conduct the first selection round. Contact the embassy of Korea in your country or the university of your choice to find out the deadline.

Q8. Where do I send my application? Can I submit it online?

A8. No, the online application is not possible. In the first selection round, submit hard copies of the required documents to Korean embassies or universities. Check the guidelines and noticeboard on the site www.studyinkorea.go.kr.

Q9. Do I need English or Korean proficiency certificates when applying for GKS?

A9. You may apply without a certificate of English (TOEIC, TOEFL, or IELTS) or Korean (TOPIK). But if you are from a highly competitive country. Then, the Korean embassy or university may ask for a certain level of language proficiency. You will get extra points if you have a TOPIK level 3 or above. Plus, if you submit an English ability document, you may earn even more points.

Q10. What should I put in the GPA section of the application?

A10. Put your GPA or percentile for each semester, regardless of semesters and years of UG. Fill out your GPA or score before the slash (/) and the total one after (/). E.g., if your GPA is 3.5 out of 4.5 and your percentage is 85 out of 100, write 3.5/4.5 and 85/100.

Q11. How many letters of recommendation should I submit? Embassy track applicants must submit one original and three copies. How can we make copies of the sealed recommendation letters?

A11. A NIIED applicant must get the recommendation letters of two different recommenders. Embassy track applicants cannot open recommendation letters. Thus, ask each of your recommenders to write an original one. 3 identical copies of each recommender’s letter of recommendation are required. Seal each envelope and sign it across the flap. So, every recommender submits four similar letters in a sealed envelope. For university track applicants, collect one original letter per recommendation.

Q12. I want to apply for the 2024 GKS Graduate. I received a recommendation letter from my university’s professor in March 2022. Could I submit this?

A12. The recommendation letter date must be within one year after the last date of the application deadline. If it is over a year, you can’t submit it.

Q13. Is it necessary to include a detailed research proposal in the Statement of Purpose?

A13. Yes. You should describe your study plans’ general goals and general outline, if not in detail. Also, explain your study objectives in Korea and your goals during and after the degree program.

Q14. I plan on applying through the embassy. Per the guidelines, I should submit 4 application documents: 1 original copy and 3 photocopies. How do I send my certificates, like transcripts, graduation certificates, or recommendation letters?

A14. You must present all certificates in their original form. For instance, get four sets of transcripts and four sets of diplomas from your university. Submit photocopies because they cannot reissue the original record. In that case, submit notarized, apostle, or consular-confirmed documents in place of originals. Also, make three additional copies of the certified documents. For a recommendation letter, please refer to Q&A 11 in this FAQ.

Q15. How do I submit my documents in languages other than Korean or English?

A15. The notary public must notarize a complete translation of a document written in a language other than Korean or English.

Q16. I am an Indian citizen living in Singapore. Can I apply for the program through the Korean Embassy in Singapore?

A16. No. If you choose the embassy track, apply to the Korean Embassy in India. Candidates via the Embassy Track must apply to the Korean embassy in their home country. You can also not participate if you belong to a nation not invited to GKS-G.

Q17. I am a citizen of China. Chinese nationals only get a quota on the embassy track as per the applicable rules. Am I required to apply to the Korean Embassy in China?

A17.Chinese citizens don’t need to submit applications to the Korean embassy in China. Instead, a bilateral agreement between Korea and China enables the China Scholarship Council (CSC) to take applications. Likewise, Czech citizens must apply to the Czech Ministry of Education under the agreement between the Korean and Czech governments.

Q18. I am an American living in Los Angeles, USA. I will apply through the Embassy of Korea. Is it necessary to apply to the Embassy in Washington, D.C.?

A18. You can apply to the Korean Consulate near you, L.A., in your case. The Korean embassy in Washington and Korean consulates in the USA collaborate during the selection process.

Q19. Can I pursue a Master’s degree or a Doctoral degree in any field of study?

A19. You can only apply to majors and programs listed in the “2022 GKS-G University Information” uploaded to studyinkorea.go.kr. NIIED advises contacting the university to learn about the program you are considering.

Q20. How many universities and majors am I able to apply to?

A20. For the university track, you can select ONLY ONE university and one major subject for GKS. The embassy track allows you to apply to 3 universities under Type A and B, including at least one of the three choices from a Type B university. You can pick the same major at all 3 universities. But, you cannot choose 3 distinct programs from a single university. Check application guidelines.

Q21. I plan to apply via the university track. Is it possible to major in liberal arts and social science at one of the regional universities?

A21. Yes if the university you choose offers GKS scholars a degree program and major. Check out the entire list of study fields on studyinkorea.go.kr in “2022 GKS-PG University Information.” Applicants can select from regional or non-regional partner universities and major in liberal arts or social science. There is a country quota on the university track. They also reserve part of the quota for students applying to regional universities. For more details, refer to the application guidelines.

Q22. If I apply via the embassy track, I can pick up to 3 universities and departments/courses. Any guidance for selecting universities and majors?

A22. As an embassy track applicant, passing the 2nd round of selection does not guarantee admission to their preferred university. It is possible to get rejected by all 3 universities because of a big competition. Each Korean university offers different subjects and has unique strengths. Thus, conduct your research before deciding which university is best in the stream and fields you wish to pursue.

Q23. My application is on the embassy track. I understand I must select at least one university from Type B. Can I pick only one university from Type B?

A23. No. You need to select at least one university from Type B. You can also choose all 3 from Type B, but not all from Type-A.

Q24. Is it compulsory for all GKS scholars to pass at least TOPIK level 3 after one year of Korean language studies?

A24. Yes. Every GKS scholar must get a minimum of TOPIK level 3 within a one-year Korean program to start their degree program. NIIED assigns Korean learning centers to each GKS scholar based on various factors. You cannot change the institute. Plus, one has to live on-campus and cannot accompany family members.

Q25. Can I be exempt from the Korean language program?

A25. If you have achieved TOPIK level 5 or 6 before applying for GKS-PG, you don’t need to attend Korean classes. You can start the degree program in September 2022. But, before, submit a valid TOPIK certificate to NIIED by June 10, 2022. If you achieve level 5 or 6 in the first 6 months of the Korean course, you can skip the remaining 6 months. Then, you can start your degree program next semester (March 2023).

Q26. Can I change my final choice of a university for a PG course during my required Korean language course?

A26. No. You cannot change to another university or field of study. They allow if there is a structural change in the department. Before applying, it would be best to know details about the course and college.

Q27. What if I don’t complete my degree within the scholarship period? Will they extend my scholarship until I graduate?

A27. After the scholarship period ends, you no longer get any scholarship benefits, whether you earned a degree. You cannot extend your scholarship either.

Hello! I recently heard someone that the GKS Scholarship is not applicable for Korean language course, say from SNU LEI. Is this true? Thank you in advance!

Possible since they teach Korean to all selected candidates who haven’t passed TOPIK level 3. Plus, a master’s in Korean requires one to be advanced level in the language which is not the case with GKS as anyone can apply for any course.

Then not possible. Check the requirement for the same.

Sir. How many subjects in master?

Sorry, I didn’t get you.

Hi, my name is Princy. I am from India. I have already emailed my professor at the Korean university, do I have to wait for his reply, or do I have to submit my document to Embassy first? What should I do next??

You can only apply for GKS-G in Feb/March as per available courses/universties.

I am currently studying at university, but I haven’t graduated yet. So can I apply immediately after I graduate? Thank you!

Yes, as long as you fulfill the eligibility criteria.

Hi I’m expecting to finish my higher national diploma in banking and finance by 2024 so can i apply for gks or can I apply with the national diploma and study business administration? If yes, what can I do sir thanks.

I am not sure about that. You can check if MBA related courses are available, and if you fit the requirement, you can apply accordingly.

Hello sir!! I wanted to ask you that can I get this scholarship if I scored below 80% in 10th but above 80% in 12th?

Yes, but overall academic track record matters.

I think u can’t 🤔

Good morning sir, I’m a student in the final year, my undergraduate program, and it will end in December 2022, but the graduation ceremony can take place in May 2023, is it possible to apply for master’s degree unless I have a certificate?

You can apply as an appearing student. But you do have to submit final degree before departure if in case you are selected.

Respected Teacher I am currently studying in the 5th semester (last year) of my graduation. And I will graduate in July 2023 cause our university’s rule is this. Can I apply for a GKS scholarship in 2023 for my master’s study?

Yes, if you expect to get your results by Aug/Sept 2023.

My civil engineering (bachelor’s) has finished, so can I choose architecture for my Master’s?

You can choose if your preferred course is available and you are eligible. But getting selected depends on many factors, including your previous academic background.

Hi, if you can do good research about universities, can you please check the Artificial Intelligence or Robotics Course too? I’m a Computer Engineering Graduate (bachelor).

I want to study AI or robotics Engineering. I did conduct research but couldn’t find much. My preferred university is SNU. Korea University, KAIST, and Seoul Tech are also good. Any University is acceptable as long as I can study AI or Robotics. So, can you please help with that? 😅

I haven’t checked the latest colleges an courses. You can check, and if it’s not available, you have to look for other ways beyond GKS.

can you please help me out,

1: What is the deadline for postgraduate for Pakistan? 2: we need 80% for this scholarship or a 2.7 CGPA (it’s weird that a 2.7 CGPA is not even 60% of marks) I got a 3.2 CGPA. Is it ok to apply? 3: I did my master’s in journalism and production, and I want to apply for another master’s in film studies now. is GKS also covering the media and film field? 4: Can I have your email id?

1. For that, you have to check the Pakistani Government site that deals with scholarships to foreign countries. There you will find all the details, though usually the process starts in February. 2. You need 80% or more and as per mentioned CGPA. You can also try a few website that helps convert into such CGPA and percentile. 3. You have to check the available courses in their list. 4. You can submit the form, or ask in the comment section.

I am Bella from Nigeria I have gotten my Higher national diploma (HND) with a total GPA of 2.96 I graduated in 2022, and I studied Banking and finance with the result which I acquire can I apply for a master’s degree in Gks?

Yes, if you are elgibile for the requirements.

I want to apply for a bachelor’s degree I have more than 80% in high school. In the university track, how can we send documents to the university?

Directly to the Korean university. It has just two stages (University — NIIED).

This explained everything from minor details to the big things. This was such a good article. But I’m still afraid of applying 😞. I don’t know why, even though I am eligible to apply.

Can you please tell me (1) What is a notarized document and what is a consular verified document? (2) How do we get to do this? I am from Pakistan. Aap Roman, Urdu, Hindi mein likh dain Sir, shyd smjh aa jaye. 😞

If you are eligible and wish to get scholarship to study there, you should apply with a positive frame of mind.

Notarized is a document certified by the notary public. On the other hand, consular or apostille authentication serves the purpose of making public documents legally recognized in foreign countries.

Hi there, thanks for such a thorough and informative post. I was wondering, do the letters of recommendation have to come from an academic institution? I’ve been out of school for a few years (I received my bachelor’s degree in December 2020), so I’m not sure I’d be able to get a recommendation from a professor that is dated within 1 year of the application since I haven’t been a student in several years.

Is there a way around this? Can I use professional recommendations from a job or volunteer program? or would perhaps going back to school to take a course or two be beneficial to try to secure an academic recommendation? Thanks in advance for any advice you can share.

The recommendation letter is required from the educational institutions where you pursued the course should be within one year. You can still get from college and school with the current date that will benefit you. There is no mentioned of professional ones, so not sure if it be of any use.

I want to do a PhD.

Hey sir I jus graduated from high school can I apply for this GKSG, or will I have to wait for the normal gks form to come out.. and please, when will the form for the 2024 GKS com out coz I think 2023 form come out last year. I’m kind of confused sir 🥺💔 please

If you have completed 12th or equivalent, you can apply for GKS in Sept or Oct 2023 for the academic term 2024. Yes, last year for 2023.

I have a question regarding the recommendation letter for the embassy track. I thought only one was required, but you wrote that we need two? Also, I‘m confused about submitting original certificates. It says they cannot be returned, so do I need to ask my previous university to mail me another original?

Thanks, Karen

2 recommendation letters are required from two recommender as stated in the original document. You need to submit the original copies. All details are there.

Could you tell me what is mean by embassy track and university track? I’m applying for an abroad scholarship for first time, so.

There are two different ways to apply for GKS. All details are mentioned in this article.

Hey sir can international student apply GKS with low high school transcript grade

A minimum of 80% or equivalent, or being in the top 10% is the requirement for all candidates, regardless of country.

Hello sir. I have graduated last year I studied banking and finance with a total GPA of 2.96 and I want to go for master’s degree can I apply for the Gks scholarship?

If your GPA fits the criteria, surely you can apply.

Where can I get the application form? And where to submit?

On the official site studyinkorea.go.kr. All details are there in this article.

Dear admission committee: Please could you extend the deadline for the application? I am from Ethiopia, Tigray regional state due to the war that happened in the past 2 years internet connection was not opened but is now open. I am trying to finish my application process as can as possible. Submitting documents to the embassy takes at least 3 or 4 days. Please consider my interest if it is possible. I am very interested in studying in Korea.

Hello, I have a few inquiries about the GKS scholarship.

1. Can I change my master’s major from what I studied for my undergrad degree? 2. Does GKS offer scholarships to students that apply in the spring? 3. May I apply simultaneously for the embassy and university tracks?

1. Yes 2. No 3. Yes, but you can apply only one university and do follow all the procedure.

Hello Vikash Gupta,

I have applied via Embassy track (to Korean Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ) using DHL Post and delivered, but no response yet as to at what stage the evaluation and or screening is. Can you please brief me about this?

Check with the Embassy in your country.

Can you please tell me the starting date of gks and the valid link?

For GKS-UG, September-October, and GKS-G in Feb-March. Website → studyinkorea.go.kr/en

Hello sir! Recently I have completed my graduation and I got two recommendation letters from different recommenders, but these were not sealed in envelop. I am confused as you mentioned above that we are supposed to submit sealed recommendation letters so what should I do?

Recommendation letters need to be sealed as per GKS guidelines. They may reject if it does not follows the instructions.

Hello sir, I have some questions it is better if you answer all of them:)

1. I’m about to finish my bachelor degree (this year). But before finishing, the time of applying to the GKS may come. What should I do if I can’t get diploma or GPA result? Can I provide the copies or not 2. Now I’m in Uzbekistan. I just checked the dates of applying; they told me it will be upcoming February is it real? 3. If I get this scholarship before entering any universities in Korea, it may provide me some choices to apply any universities that I want?

Thank you in advance!

1. You need final result along with apostille documents as appearing students can’t apply. 2. Yes 3. No, you can’t choose any other university. You get a particular one that you pick during application.

Hi, I have a question regarding the requirements, hope you can solve it! 🙂

I studied veterinary medicine (5-year degree instead of 4) and in my country. I can already do a PhD with no Master’s (due to the longer degree). Do you know if that possibility exists in Korea? Because it is said that “For a doctoral program, one needs a master’s degree or education or *equivalent*” But it also asks to attach the master’s results. Is there any official contact email I can use for this kind of question?

Thank you so much! ^^

If they ask for masters which is the normal case in most places, you require Master’s degree. I am not aware if there is such contact detail. Try on the official site.

Hello, Sir my name is Baljinder Kaur. I just completed my senior secondary education and I got 80%. Can I apply for gks in 2024 (Feb and March) please reply. Thanks

Yes, depending on other criterias.

Hi am currently working person. I am going to apply for my masters through GKS Scholarship. Since i graduate its been 2 years. Can i get my recommendation letter from my office manager insted of any professors or teacher?? Can i get recommendation letter from manager or CEO or HR is ok??

I guess no as recommendation letter is based on your educational performance and done by teacher at existing acdemic centers.

Hii wanna ask can they accept 3 years or 2 years study gap?if i have a master degree of 3 years ago can i apply after 3 years in PHD?

I guess, yes they do accept. Do check the exact age limitation and minimum year of passing in the official document.

I have a bachelor’s degree in social work but I want to apply for a master’s degree in international relations. Is it possible?

Possible, but continuation may boost some chances.

Hi! I’m preparing for my GKS-G application right now, and this blog has been real helpful. I just have a question: For the Personal Health Assessment, I might need to declare a certain condition I was diagnosed with in 2020. But I’m taking oral medication for managing it. Technically, I have been living healthily and working normally since my diagnosis.

So far in my preparations, the personal health assessment is what I have been dreading the most, because I’m concerned that if they see my condition, my application would be fully disregarded right from the start 🙁 Would it be alright to add a medical certificate on the Other Documents section, even if not yet required? Since my treatment doctor gave me one which states I am fit to study and work overseas, and that I’m taking continuous medicine to manage it.

I’ve been dreaming about GKS back when it was still KGSP in 2018, so I’m looking for assurance that there’s still a chance for me. Thank you so much in advance!

Well, you must disclose all your medical situation, regardless of whether they accept or decline.

I’m having bachelor’s degree in business administration in HR stream if can any possible to apply for a master’s degree in information technology field ? and my graduation is still running (last sem-6) so where we can apply for master’s on after completion of before ?

It would be challenging as it’s pretty competitive and has many prerequisites.

Hello, Actually I have just completed my class 12th now (2023-2024 batch), now I plan to take a drop and apply for GKS in Sept. 2024. Will me being a dropper affect my chances of getting selected or am I eligible for applying if I am a dropper?

No, it won’t matter. You can drop and try GKS. However, considering there are only a few seats, I’d suggest have plan B and get enrolled for bachelors’s degree elsewhere too.
