Scholarships in Korea Using the New TOEFL iBT 1–6 Scale
TOEFL iBT reports changed to a 1–6 scale on January 21, 2026. These reviewed scholarship rules publish both a new-scale threshold and an earlier 0–120 threshold. The page preserves the university’s stated pair and test-date distinction; it does not calculate a conversion, combine score routes or treat a blank score as a waiver.
8 programmes from the published database. Application status as of 2026-10-23 (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.
Korean-track freshmen only; native English speakers are excluded. Four-year recipients are competitively selected by admission rank within the budget; conditional pre-selected recipients receive the award. Submit all required certificates; no double scholarship benefits.
Both parents must have non-Korean nationality
