Scholarships for International Transfer Students in Korea
This collection includes rules and programmes that explicitly mention undergraduate transfer students or transfer admission. It does not assume that every undergraduate or freshman award is open to transfers. Previous-college grades, transferred credits, entry semester and the number of supported semesters can change the benefit.
30 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.
Freshmen and year-3 transfers only; certificate required for the language tier. Year-4 transfers have a separate 30% tier. Partner institutions, BUFS language-course completion or specified F visas may also qualify for 30%.
