Can Korean Dual Citizens Apply for International Scholarships in Korea?
Holding a second passport does not necessarily make a Korean citizen eligible as an international scholarship applicant. These records explicitly exclude Korean dual citizens, but the wording, documents and affected family members differ. A programme that is silent about citizenship is not treated as permission, and a Korean dual-degree programme is unrelated to dual nationality.
16 programmes from the published database. Application status as of 2026-10-22 (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.
Full tuition + living allowance + airfare + Korean-language training
Applicant and parents must not hold Korean citizenship, including Korean dual nationality. Embassy Track nationality quotas apply; UIC is open to all countries. Born on or after March 1, 2002. High-school or associate-degree graduate by December 31, 2026; bachelor’s degree holders cannot apply.
Embassy applications: September 15–30, 2026 (KST). University Track has separate university schedules and designated departments.
Embassy General: up to 3 universities, including at least one Type B; R-GKS: up to 2 Type B universities. University Track: one university and one department.
University Track deadlines and eligible departments are set separately for each university. A common national programme does not establish one application deadline for all routes.
Award duration and continued support
Bachelor’s: funded degree period of 4–6 years, plus a 1-year Korean-language programme. Associate degree: 2–3 years, plus language training. TOPIK 5 or 6 submitted at application exempts the language year. NIIED and university academic regulations apply throughout the award.

Does renouncing Korean citizenship automatically make me eligible?
No. Some programmes require proof of nationality loss by a specific date and can also apply rules to parents, prior education or admission status. Follow the current official guide.
If a scholarship page says only “international students,” can a Korean dual citizen apply?
Do not infer that from a short label. This collection includes only explicit evidence; ask the programme and admissions office about your documented citizenship status.
