GKS-G 2021: How to Apply - Embassy Track vs. University Track

 Hello everyone! Annyeong! Welcome to my blog.

Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) - Graduate Degree has officially started. Those who have been preparing for this, this is now your chance so better check out and read the guidelines well! :) You don't wanna get disqualified because you didn/t follow the instructions, right?


GKS-G 2021

Before applying, consider which track do you want to take: Embassy vs. University Track.

Taking Embassy vs University Track has many factors. First, check the QUOTA for EMB vs UNI track in your country. If UNI track has more quota, then apply for it. You have more chances than EMB track.

Embassy Track

Usually, people who apply for EMB Track are the ones with higher GPAs, with so many extra-curricular activities, volunteer works, and killer essays. The advantage of taking the EMB Track is that you may choose three (3) universities in your application, in case one rejects you, you still have two (2) options.

*You will just send your applications to the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in your country.

University Track

For UNI Track, apply here if you are sure and you really like that one school of your choice. You can only choose one (1). Do not apply to multiple universities at the same time, you'll be DISQUALIFIED. They can trace it because they have a centralized system. NIIED collects info from all schools. Once rejected, try again next time.

*You will send this directly to the University, addressed to the GKS Coordinator of the school you are applying to via courier.
