University Scholarships Outside Seoul for International Students
Compare university awards where the reviewed university record lists locations outside Seoul. Incheon and Gyeonggi locations are included: outside Seoul does not mean outside the capital region. Universities with missing locations or a mixture of Seoul and other campuses are excluded from this collection, rather than assuming which campus an award belongs to. Department and campus restrictions still apply.
81 programmes from the published database. Application status as of 2026-10-11 (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.
