Overview

Kyung Hee University automatically considers every international applicant for a ladder of admission scholarships — no separate form. TOPIK 6 (or TOEFL 105/IELTS 7.5) earns full first-semester tuition; top-50% admits to the engineering/software colleges can hold full tuition for all 4 years.

Why it is notable: Scholarship G is one of Korea's most generous undergraduate STEM offers — 4 years of full tuition for top-half admits who keep a 3.5 GPA — and everything is decided inside the admission evaluation, so there is no extra deadline to miss.
