GPA-Based Scholarships for Current International Students in Korea
These university rules explicitly concern enrolled or continuing students and record both a numerical GPA threshold and its scale. They are separate merit awards, not automatic continuation of an entrance scholarship. Credits, semester status, TOPIK, department selection, budget and re-application may also apply.
16 programmes from the published database. Application status as of 2026-10-12 (KST); source review dates are recorded individually. Past calls remain labeled by their year and deadline. A policy without dates is not treated as an open call.
