Scholarship Exam Details

The Global Korea Scholarship (GKS), formerly known as KGSP, is a world-class fully-funded program by the South Korean government. For 2026, it aims to provide 1,300+ international students with the opportunity to pursue Associate, Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctoral degrees in South Korea. The scholarship is incredibly comprehensive: it covers 100% of tuition fees, round-trip airfare, a monthly stipend (approx. 1,000,000 KRW), settlement allowance, and health insurance. A standout feature is the mandatory 1-year Korean language training at a local language center, which is also fully funded. This program is a cornerstone of South Korea's "soft power," turning Indian scholars into fluent Korean speakers and future leaders in fields like Semiconductors, Biotechnology, and K-Content Management.
