Winning MS and PhD Scholarships In S. Korea

Reference: http://www.alertmagazine.org/images/scholarship.jpg

Dear All,

Let me explain to you that in Korea the easiest way to get admission and scholarship (both fee and living expenses) is first of all, you should search relevant professors of your choice and research interest. Then you should make a tailored made CV according to the interest of those relevant professors and send him/her that CV along with a short email stating your introduction and show your interest that you want to do master/Ph.D under his/her supervision. If a professor shows interest it means almost you have 99% chances that your admission is confirmed. In most of the cases, university provides tuition fee scholarship while professor provide monthly living expenses scholarship. It also means you have to struggle to get these two scholarships. If you get one then the other you have to pay by yourself and it is very expensive for individual. So, first of all, you should try to find “Faculty” => Professors profiles on the university website. Then what you have to do is:

1.Read all your major professors profiles, research interests and projects.

2. Make your CV research oriented.

3. Write an email.

4. Send your email and CV to as many professors as you can (keep in mind only interested professors may reply you, so don’t be disappointed) 

Note: If you are interested in any specific professor and he/she does not reply you then you must contact him/her by" telephone". Please keep in mind that many professors do not reply, so in that case, you must contact him/her by telephone. 

Important: 

1. Maybe if you face some trouble while opening website then please install “Korean” language tools.

2.Deadlines and time is very important.

3.Try to get any English proficiency certificate. Sometime it increases chances of scholarships.

If any updates, I will let you know. Regards, Murad

 4. Once the ball starts rolling (getting in contact with professor) Come up with a project plan or SOP (Statment of purpose, Research plan) that what you are going to research about. Indulge yourself in writing new project proposals if required.

PSA community, please if any information is missing then add it with regards.
