INFORMATION ON KGSP/GKSP FOR UNDERGRADUATE :EMBASSY TRACK

-
The 2018 KGSP/GKSP application and selection process for graduate studies has just been completed with over 600 candidates selected from all over the world to pursue post graduate degrees. So what's next? 2019 KGSP/GKSP application for undergraduate degrees. let's look at what applying for an undergraduate degree might look like.

Aim
The Korean Government Scholarship Program for undergraduate degrees is designed to provide international students with opportunities to study at higher educational institutions in Korea for Bachelor-level degrees, which in turn will contribute to promoting the international exchange in education and to deepening the mutual friendship among countries

Difficulty
Is the scholarship difficult to get? NO and YES. NO, if you have met all the requirements and YES, if you haven’t. To be sincere, the KGSP/GKSP for undergraduate is more competitive than the graduate. Few slots per country, smart students with clean results etc. Don’t get scared though, you can do it.   

Methods of Applying
The Embassy track: applying through the embassy means your application documents and other related documents must be submitted to the Korean embassy in your home country. Note that you CANNOT submit your application to a Korean embassy in another country aside your home country.

Advantages
-      You can choose up to three universities of your choice
-      All majors allowed under the KGSP can apply
-      Cost of sending documents is less (for applicants residing in their home countries
-      Higher number of slots
-      The embassy might help you with the process (document authentication etc.)
-      Get to meet previous awardees (if the embassy invites them)

Rather than saying disadvantages, I would say;
-      Competition is obviously high in most countries
-      3 photocopies and 1 original of each document must be submitted making it complicated. (it’s worth the time though).

So, think well and decide if you want to go through the embassy track. Do well to check out the next article on the University track.
