Hello, Everyone! Welcome to my blog. As you all know, we, the 2020 GKS-G SCHOLARS were still in the Philippines due to COVID-19 Pandemic. Most of us resigned their respective jobs already after knowing that we were selected as scholars for the final round. I was one of those who resigned immediately, in preparation for South Korea.🇰🇷 Sadly, I had no job in the past 6 months. I relied on my online tutorial services and music serenades to live. Now, the long wait has ended. The time has come. The Korean Embassy in the Philippines now allows GKS Scholars to process D4 Visas. Only GKS. No EPS Workers and other regular student visas. We are very thankful for this exemption!~♡♡♡

Hello everyone! Annyeong! Welcome to my blog! :) As we all know, some guidelines might be confusing so we want to be sure by asking questions. See below Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). AUTHENTICATED DOCUMENTS Q: Regarding the guideline that says, "When submitting notarized documents, place the original document before the notarized document.", please give us more direction.   A: If you are submitting an authenticated copy (notarized, apostilled, or Consular confirmed) in lieu of your original document, you can submit the authenticated copy only. If your document is written in a language other than English or Korean, you should submit a notarized translation of the authenticated copy and submit both of the documents. (For embassy track applicants: Make three photocopied sets of the authenticated documents, and submit a total of four sets of application documents to the embassy.) source:  https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/sub/gks/selectBoardArticle.do;jsessionid=nWAcOtFjqU...

  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 Emba...
