Scholarships and Fellowships in Korea with an Interview Stage
These programmes explicitly record a required, possible or shortlisted-applicant interview. The page preserves whether the interview is mandatory or conditional instead of treating every selection process as identical. A document review alone is excluded, and a past interview schedule is not presented as a current opening.
6 programmes from the published database. Application status as of 2026-10-16 (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.
Maintain at least 12 credits (9 allowed only in semester 7), no F grades, and either term GPA 3.7+ (3.5+ for semesters 1–2) or cumulative GPA 3.7+. One failure suspends the next semester award; two failures end eligibility for remaining semesters.
