GKS FAQs: Diploma or Certificate of Bachelor's Degree and TOR

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog!

As we all know, one of the requirements in applying for the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) is the Diploma and TOR. I will be talking about this since these documents are crucial and also will not be RETURNED to you.

DIPLOMA

Your Diploma certifies that you are a graduate of that certain school and have successfully passed all the academic requirements for you to reach graduation. Now, other schools do not issue the DIPLOMA more than once - except when you lose your diploma (you will get affidavit of loss). The alternative to diploma in which GKS also accepts is the Certificate of Bachelor's Degree. This certificate states that you are a graduate of that University in the year____ and bears your school logo with seal.





This document is a sample only, since I have submitted the original, I just kept a photocopy just in case.


TOR

Transcript of Records (TOR) is also a very important requirement. This "original" document can be requested from your school as just have it stamped as Certified True Copy. So, I highly advise that you request more of it. If you submit an Original document during the application, you do not have to worry about Apostille/Notarizing it. If you are an Embassy Track applicant, you can submit 4 copies of it so request 4 copies from your school. For University Track, just submit 1 original document.


Hope this helps!

  1. Hi! For your TOR, Diploma and other Certificates did the embassy requested for it to be printed out on A4 paper or is it okay to submit a legal size TOR? Thank you
