    I got 75% in my 12th class, so is it possible for me to study in korea?

    • Hyun Lee October 21, 2023 at 4:20 pm - Reply

      Hello, if you do have good IELTS/TOEFL or TOPIK Scores, you definitely can study in Korea. If you have a good SAT/ACT scores, that will be even better.

        If I have IELTS , GPA 4+ and been accepted by this university, how much is it possible for me to get this scholarship?

        • Hyun Lee February 16, 2024 at 3:59 pm - Reply

          Depends on your IELTS score and other standardized scores that you have. You haven’t specified your IELTS score. If your IELTS score is high and other standardardized scores (SAT, ACT, AP, etc) are high, you have a good chance

          • .... February 21, 2024 at 7:33 pm

            Where can I apply for this university, I mean, do you know the email or something? Thank you for your answer in advance.

          • Hyun Lee February 22, 2024 at 12:42 pm

            I’m not sure about the email, but Sungkyunkwan University has application procedures in the links found in the Admissions Section. Please take a look at there first.

    Hi. Do I need to graduate high school to apply to the university for the fall semester? I will graduate in May 2024 and I want to study in the fall semester, but the application process starts in March and they require a high school diploma.

    • Hyun Lee March 11, 2024 at 7:44 am - Reply

      No, you can still fill the application and submit your diploma after you graduate. You can talk to Sungkyunkwan University admissions about it, but there will be many students like you.

    If I have graduated from GED and got 5/6 Topik Level, can I get admission and fully funded scholarship in Korea’s private University?

    • Hyun Lee March 12, 2024 at 7:52 am - Reply

      I think that you will get some good fully funded scholarships in Korea with TOPIK 5, including Samsung Global Sungkyun Scholarship. There are other scholarships in Korea and you can find them in best Korean scholarships article and our scholarship database.

    In my country, we only graduate in January. Is it still possible to apply for the scholarship after the deadline?

    • Hyun Lee February 17, 2024 at 11:11 am - Reply

      No, it is not possible to apply for the scholarship after the deadline. You can still apply to this scholarship and admissions for the school before you graduate though.

    is it possible to study dentistry with this scholarship?

      Dentistry is a separate school at Korean universities, same with medicine. You can’t study dentistry with this scholarship.

    I have my duolingo test scores. Am I eligible to study there? Is there any way to waive the application fee?

    • Hyun Lee May 5, 2024 at 2:39 pm - Reply

      Hello, I’m not sure if Sungkyunkwan University accepts Duolingo Scores. In their admission guidelines, it says “Original official English proficiency test(TOEFL iBT, IELTS, TEPS, TOEIC, etc.) score report submission.” So you should ask admissions if they will accept Duolingo Score. For application fee, I’m not sure either. You should ask them about it, but I doubt that they will waive it for you.

    I’m Ugandan and well we don’t have school diplomas because of the different education systems. What can I do about this??

      I’m not sure. You should ask the university directly and see what they say. I think it will be different for different universities.

    hi, I am studying Korean at KUW now, I have TOPIK 4, and my high school scores are a bit low (7,6/10), but my Korean score is (85+) in KUW so can I get the Samsung Global Sungkyun Scholarship for Foreign Students or any scholarship? thank you.

    • Hyun Lee June 15, 2024 at 3:40 pm - Reply

      Hello, you might need additional qualifications to be qualified for this scholarship. There are some TOPIK related scholarships, which you can see here and here.

    Just asking, I’m an undergraduate student. By now, I got my 1st year 1st semester result. Tt is 3.92 out of 4. If I am going to apply next year, will I able to apply for this as a transfer student with the results semesters GPA up to then?

    • Hyun Lee June 11, 2024 at 12:09 pm - Reply

      Hello, I don’t believe this scholarship is applicable to transfer students. You would have to apply as a freshman

    Hi, an undergrad here, after applying to Sungkyunkwan, how will i get a form to fill to apply for the Samsung Scholarship? Or how will the school know that i need the scholarship, do i send an email?

    • Hyun Lee July 10, 2024 at 4:20 pm - Reply

      Hello, if you look at the scholarship page closely, you don’t need any application to apply; you are automatically considered. If you are nominated by the school, they will contact you and interview you if necessary

    I have Topik 6 and 8.5 IELTs along with CGPA of 9.5/10. I also have some Korean prizes back in high school and more than 10 activities relating to my major. However I did not take the SAT test and im also applying for a social science major (i heard that it would be better if the applicant apply for natural science major). Will i have any chance for this scholarship?

    • Hyun Lee September 8, 2024 at 4:39 pm - Reply

      I think you are a very strong candidate since you have extremely high language proficiency scores in both English and Korean. If you have a good SAT or ACT score, that will make your application stronger. I highly recommend you to apply for this scholarship (you just have to apply for admissions to be considered), and also, I recommend that you apply for Global Korea Scholarships as well if you are in eligible countries. You have a very good chance of getting it.

      • maxlee September 12, 2024 at 2:36 am - Reply

        Thank you for your response. I have another question. As I plan to major in Media and Communication, I had to apply through Korean Track for SKKU. Is the Samsung global scholarship available for both Korean Track and English track?

        • Hyun Lee September 15, 2024 at 5:37 pm - Reply

          It doesn’t say specifically on the website; it just says it’s for foreign students, so I’m guessing it’s available for both tracks?

    Is a TOPIK a must to apply for this scholarship?

    • Hyun Lee September 15, 2024 at 5:20 pm - Reply

      No, TOPIK is not a requirement but it is good to have. You either need TOPIK or IELTS/TOEFL

      Hello, this is a bachelor’s scholarship. You can search for Master’s Scholarships here. I don’t know if you will be able to get it or not; you don’t know until you apply

    I have IELTS 7.0 almost two years (expires on may) and in my country there is only 11 year of study in school, did my foundation year which is equivalent to 12th grade, getting gpa 4.0/4.0, and the study was in english. I did amazingly in relevant modules to global economics (applying to), like math, eco and others. Will I be a strong candidate

    • Hyun Lee September 29, 2024 at 4:44 pm - Reply

      I don’t think you are strong candidate unless you have strong scores on SAT, ACT, AP, or IB. You might be able to get in without these tests, but it is advisable to have good scores on these tests

      • Nuriddin September 29, 2024 at 8:43 pm - Reply

        If I retake IELTS and get at least 7.5, will it better or i really need sat?

        • Hyun Lee October 9, 2024 at 12:58 pm - Reply

          You should try to get at least 7.5 on the IELTS. Also, having a higher score on the SAT/ACT definitely helps on your application.

    Hello. I have important question. When does this university open admission for 2025 undergraduate foreign students for the fall semester?

      Hello, the official dates have not been announced yet. The only available dates are the upcoming Spring Semester. Based on their last year’s deadlines, admission will most likely open between February and May 2025 for the Fall Semester.

    Hi, if I want to start my studies in South Korea in fall 2026 when and how should I apply to this scholarship? I saw a comment of a past recipient’s from my country and it said embassy needs to request us. Is that true? Also when I apply can I first take a language year for myself to learn Korean since I want to study a major in Korean track? Will they allow me to do that?

    • Hyun Lee June 28, 2025 at 2:19 pm - Reply

      Hello, the deadline varies, but it should be around March. I believe that this scholarship is automatically considered and that there’s no need for a separate application. You can take a year of language studies, but if you do wish to do that, you should try looking into Global Korea Scholarships since that scholarship has one year of language studies included

    Hello! Am I able to get this scholarship without a TOPIK exam? I didn’t take it, and don’t have time to take it before application in my country

      TOPIK is not a requirement for this scholarship
