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!

Recommendation letters are a crucial part of the scholarship application process but don't let that stress you out! Here are some information and tips on how you can prepare and complete your RLs. Recommendation Letter 1. How to Start? First, you may use the previous GKS Form for this section ONLY . This is to help you become prepared as they usually open the scholarship application around 2nd week of February and then closes about 3rd week of March. Last year, they posted February 11~March 15, 2020.  The deadline depends if you are EMBASSY TRACK (depends on the Korean Embassy in your country) and if you are UNIVERSITY TRACK (depends on the university you are applying to).

So, it is time for you to finally submit it. Yehey! but....how? See below my tips on how to send your GKS application forms for both tracks. Submitting GKS forms: Embassy Track Hooray! This is the easiest compared to University Track (in most cases, except, if you are a foreigner in South Korea who lives near the University to which you are applying, haha). If you are near the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in your home country , then you may submit it personally. If you are far from the embassy, just submit it via courier of your choice. In any case, since you are just submitting to the embassy within  your country, expenses will be cheap compared to University Track.
