Korea Scholarships Besides GKS: Find and Track Them
Study guide
How to find Korean scholarships beyond GKS using the official Study in Korea notice board.
- Build a shortlist with deadlines and eligibility instead of relying on stale social media lists.
- 2026 guide.
Q: After GKS, what’s the next best way to find Korea scholarships without getting lost?
A: Bookmark the official Study in Korea scholarship pages and notices board. Then use a shortlist sheet so every scholarship has a deadline, eligibility notes, and a clear next action. Don’t rely on random “2026 list” posts.
TL;DR (2 minutes) - Official starting point (Korea scholarships hub): https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/ko/plan/scholarship.do - Official notices board (updates + attachments): https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/ko/notice/scholarshipsList.do?boardSort=3 - Build a shortlist sheet (5 - 10 entries) and verify each entry on the official notice/university page.
Status: Last reviewed 2026-01-20. Scholarship listings change. Always verify the latest details on the official notice and the university/provider page.
1) Start with the official portals (bookmark these)
If you only bookmark two pages, make it these:
- Scholarships hub: https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/ko/plan/scholarship.do
- Scholarships notice board: https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/ko/notice/scholarshipsList.do?boardSort=3
This is also where GKS notices and attachments appear:
2) The shortlist sheet (copy/paste columns)
Your shortlist sheet is what keeps this from turning into “open 30 tabs and forget”.
Use these columns:
- Scholarship name
- Provider (university / foundation / agency)
- Level (UG / Masters / PhD / language programme)
- Who can apply (nationality / track notes)
- Deadline (and time zone)
- Documents required (high level)
- Language requirements (if any)
- Link(s): official notice + provider page
