Korea University offers a variety of undergraduate scholarships in recognition of outstanding academic performance. We also understand the challenge of financing your undergraduate studies abroad and think that tuition fee should not be a barrier to your passion to study.
In an effort to lessen the burden of financial hardships, we offer the Bright Futures Scholarship A for those who are in need of financial help.

Please check the application method for each scholarship along with the amount of scholarship, and apply if necessary, to help your studies.
