0:07

0:08
see every single scholarship in Soul
0:11
Nation University all three of them uh
0:13
yeah there aren't that many H we have
0:15
three scholarships and I have to put a
0:17
disclaimer here uh for everyone I know
0:21
this will probably kind of uh destroy
0:23
the retention of this video but I have
0:25
to warn you all three scholarships that
0:27
we're going to see today are for
0:29
graduate students so if you are an
0:31
undergraduate student or looking for um
0:34
undergraduate like Bachelor scholarships
0:36
we don't have anything today for you so
0:38
maybe go watch other videos that we have
0:40
or I don't know come back in four years
0:43
that would work too uh so yeah let's
0:46
let's begin now of course you can do all
0:48
of this by yourself by just going to
0:50
Global scholarships.com uh this is our
0:52
homepage as you can see we don't have
0:54
any like registration or pricing or
0:57
anything we can just go to our Search
0:58
tool and type Soul right and then choose
1:02
Soul National University and this is the
1:04
page we have for this University we have
1:07
a page for every scholarship in our
1:08
database every University in our
1:10
database um we have just like basic
1:12
information here uh location population
1:15
and number of scholarships as you can
1:17
see we have three of them you can get
1:19
more information about the admission you
1:21
can just click here to go and see The
1:23
Bachelor or Master's admission process
1:26
um
1:28
procedures uh and Etc ET Etc so also if
1:32
you uh we have a video too we like if we
1:35
have a relevant video for universities
1:38
we kind of put them here of course we
1:40
have the deadline and the TU Fe as you
1:43
can see it's about like three to
1:46
$7,000 usually um tuition fees are not
1:49
extremely high in South Korea um like in
1:56
Asia it's they are usually not that high
1:58
likee especially
2:00
compared to places like Australia United
2:03
States Canada um so yeah they're kind of
2:07
affordable but keep in mind that South
2:10
Korea has comparatively High living
2:13
costs especially if you if you're going
2:15
to live in Soul and yeah it can be quite
2:19
quite expensive so this is the tuition
2:22
fee and as you can see we have all three
2:25
scholarships and of course we have our
2:28
Comon section now um you can see that we
2:30
have about 31 questions and 31 answers
2:35
here um you can just put in your
2:37
question leave your question here and
2:39
there's a good chance that if you have
2:41
any question about this University uh
2:43
someone has already asked that and hly
2:46
he answers all of the questions he's the
2:48
founder of global scholarships yeah so
2:51
yeah if you have any questions um I
2:53
think this is like the best place to put
2:55
them in
2:57
anyway um so let's see where do you
2:59
University is and what it looks like
3:02
it's one of the best universities like
3:04
if not the best uh in um South Korea and
3:10
a lot of people do want to go and study
3:13
in South Korea um it's like one of the
3:16
most popular destinations in Asia along
3:18
with Japan and there are other places as
3:21
well like China and Taiwan but they're
3:23
not that of course there's also
3:26
Australia here um but those are not as
3:29
as um popular as South Korea or Japan
3:33
but of course one problem about these
3:35
two countries that they are uh very
3:38
expensive especially Japan but soul is
3:41
also quite expensive luckily all three
3:44
of these scholarships today uh cover
3:47
they cover a lot of things so all of
3:51
them are uh like they cover your tuition
3:54
fees they cover your like they don't
3:56
don't cover your living expenses but but
3:58
they give you st etc etc so yeah this is
4:02
where the university is soul as you can
4:04
see very close to
4:05
border um so this is what the university
4:09
looks like again it's one of the best
4:12
universities uh if it's if not the best
4:15
university in um South Korea it is
4:18
really difficult to get in for um Korean
4:22
students but I've heard that it's kind
4:24
of a little bit more like a little bit
4:26
easier for international students
4:29
because you've face less
4:31
competition um so yeah this is the
4:35
University and we have as you can see
4:37
three different scholarships so but you
4:40
can click here on scholarships to go to
4:42
the scholarships part and the first one
4:44
we're going to see today is the silk Ro
4:48
scholarship
4:50
um just like like you can get from the
4:53
name this is for like the the countries
4:56
in the silk Ro area you can see here
4:59
Afghanistan Bangladesh Cambodia C War uh
5:03
Egypt Ethiopia can here I can read all
5:05
of these uh turkey is also here uh which
5:07
is nice like if you don't know Silk Road
5:09
by the way it's a very uh famous
5:13
historical
5:15
Road that's from Far East Asia to Europe
5:21
yeah this is so these are the places the
5:23
countries that are
5:25
accepted um hang on no right so it's
5:29
full tution I mean it says full tution
5:32
here but it's actually kind of full
5:34
funding because it gives you more than
5:36
just tution fees
5:38
so um it's in Soul National University
5:41
obviously uh these are the countries you
5:44
need to be studying Humanities and
5:45
social science not that many um
5:48
recipients like just five recipients but
5:51
keep in mind that um just only people
5:54
from these countries will be able to
5:56
apply to this scholarship so um
5:58
competition will be less than uh you
6:02
would have in a more like broader wider
6:05
um scholarship so and you have to apply
6:08
for
6:09
this so C scholarship coverage covers
6:13
100% tuition fee for at most four
6:16
semesters
6:18
and yeah this is M for Masters and PhD
6:21
by the way sorry that should have been
6:22
the first thing I've said um 600,000
6:25
South Korean month uh South Korean bonds
6:28
monthly it should
6:30
be we can just see from here uh yeah if
6:34
12 million South green ones is $9,000
6:38
this should be about
6:39
$450 every month for four semesters um
6:44
it won't be enough it won't be uh enough
6:47
to cover all of your um living expenses
6:51
in Soul obviously um it would be about
6:54
like a th000 maybe
6:56
$1,000 at least and then it covers
6:59
economy round trip airfare and then 100%
7:02
fee for Korean language training so uh
7:05
this cover pretty much everything except
7:07
maybe I don't know $500 $600 mon monthly
7:11
living expenses so it's really really
7:14
good it even covers your um economy
7:17
round trip airfare ticket eligibility
7:20
criteria you have to be from the sil Ro
7:22
region uh my the same countries
7:24
enrolling for fields of humanities and
7:26
social sciences uh we have the
7:28
application Pro procedure here you can
7:31
read these and we have the deadlines
7:33
deadlines are passed right now uh but
7:36
hopefully when you are reading this they
7:39
will be um available for application
7:42
again you can leave your questions here
7:45
uh let's click here to go and see the
7:47
University's official scholarship
7:51
page yeah so this is the University's
7:53
page office of international Affairs um
7:57
application period here so students in
8:00
the humanities and social science
8:01
programs including Korean language
8:03
history culture politics politics and
8:06
economics five new graduate students
8:09
four semesters full tuition fee 600 yeah
8:12
pretty much the same you can see the
8:15
required documents here selection
8:17
procedure must submit their application
8:19
package to oia only those who are
8:21
recommanded by the colleges of snu will
8:24
be selected as a recipients upon their
8:27
admission yeah so and we have the thank
8:30
you from scholarship recipients uh you
8:33
might want to read these because they
8:35
have like they might have uh quite
8:37
useful insights to getting this
8:39
scholarship also if you want to learn
8:42
more B like directly from people who
8:45
received scholarships you can just go to
8:47
Global scholarships.com it's something
8:50
that I love that we have um in the
8:53
resources section uh we have scholarship
8:56
sorry scholarship stories by degree and
8:58
by country you can can click on any of
9:00
these let's say uh Canada right and then
9:04
it will show you um people who received
9:08
Scholarships in Canada and Global
9:10
scholarships reached out to them and
9:13
have them share their stories with us
9:16
for example this person um like hang on
9:21
yeah like the scholarship
9:22
details uh educational background how
9:25
did they prepare to apply for the
9:27
scholarship what would they have what
9:29
would they have done differently and etc
9:32
etc so yeah you can also use this I
9:34
think they usually have really good
9:37
insights and yeah that's pretty much it
9:39
contact information um it's a good
9:42
scholarship in my opinion uh because
9:44
like the places they've selected for the
9:47
scholarship like Afghanistan Bangladesh
9:49
Cambodia um these are places that a lot
9:52
of students would need financial aid to
9:56
be able to study in South Korea so like
9:59
maybe someone coming from United States
10:01
someone coming from Europe uh wouldn't
10:03
need financial aid as much as people
10:06
coming from these countries these
10:08
countries so I think it's really good um
10:11
so yeah that's pretty much it for this
10:13
one silkroad scholarship at Soul
10:15
National University now of course if you
10:17
are from one of these countries you can
10:20
also apply to the next scholarships that
10:23
scholarship that we have which is
10:24
graduate scholarship for excellent
10:26
foreign students right so this is again
10:30
for Masters and PhD students it's a more
10:33
General scholarship so we have um 20
10:36
recipients again it says full tuition
10:38
but it covers 100% of tuition fees for
10:41
four semesters maybe it says full
10:43
tuition I don't know you know I don't
10:45
know at least 500 South green ones
10:48
monthly depending on the students major
10:50
so different departments and when it
10:52
comes to graduate scholarships uh
10:54
different departments can give different
10:56
uh amounts of uh monthly stent to uh the
11:00
students so but but we know that
11:03
500,000 I guess it would be about like
11:05
maybe
11:06
$400 um
11:08
$370 something like that that's the
11:11
minimum so it also covers uh tuition
11:13
fees as you can see no nationality no
11:16
subjects um that are not eligible so
11:20
basically they don't care about your
11:22
nationality and if a subject is offered
11:25
by this University you can apply um no
11:28
additional
11:29
additional
11:31
application and again the admission
11:33
deadline is passed so again uh hopefully
11:37
when you watch this it will be available
11:40
for application there is no eligibility
11:43
just enrolling in a college or school
11:45
which participates in the gsfs program
11:48
for the year and we have other
11:51
information here we have the deadlines
11:54
again you can put your questions here if
11:56
you want you can click here to go and
11:58
see the official scholarship
12:06
page so these are like we have different
12:09
types of scholarships I believe Yeah so
12:14
basically the next two
12:16
scholarships uh are here uh this will be
12:19
as a new president fellowship program
12:21
will be the next one we see but this is
12:25
the one we are talking about right now
12:27
graduate scholarship for excellent for
12:29
students eligibility you must be both
12:32
these non- Korean applicants currently
12:34
enrolled or graduated from eligible
12:36
countries and who app applied and is
12:39
accepted to snu uh so who apply to for a
12:43
designate College school participate
12:45
blah blah blah basically uh you need to
12:48
be in a a program and B from a country
12:54
that is eligible and the list kind of
12:56
changes every year actually every
12:58
semester so yeah uh you can you can see
13:02
them from here if you want to apply at
13:04
the next semester number of recipients
13:07
here details tuition fee full tuition
13:10
exemption pretty much the same
13:11
information application period um during
13:14
admission period for international
13:15
students every semester every semester
13:18
um I think one of them was just for fall
13:22
semester H what's the other one hang on
13:24
let me
13:28
see
13:31
check
13:37
so yeah this is like the Sig scholarship
13:40
it's only for uh fall semester not
13:43
spring semester but this one um yeah
13:46
this one graduate scholarship for
13:48
excellence foreign students any semester
13:50
will
13:51
do application for gsfs scholarship made
13:55
at the same time for online application
13:57
for admission to snu
13:59
as new's office of AD pretty much you
14:02
apply when you apply to the university
14:04
and it covers tuitions and gives you at
14:07
least 500,000 South South Korean ones
14:10
every month so yeah that's pretty much
14:13
it for this one
14:16
to graduate scholarship for excellent
14:18
foreign students again if you have any
14:21
further questions for any of these um I
14:25
will leave the link in the description
14:28
and uh the and comment for the
14:30
University's page you can just go and
14:32
see the scholarship pages and just you
14:35
know leave your questions whatever they
14:37
are uh in the comment section and he
14:40
only answers every single question or of
14:43
course you can ask your question down in
14:46
the comment section so yeah the last one
14:49
is snu President fellowship program
14:53
aspf um pH this is for PhD students uh
14:58
it's full funding
14:59
it covers uh yeah this this say full
15:02
funding all right 100% tuition fee 1.5
15:06
to 2 million monthly uh for 3 to four
15:10
years which would be about like 900 to I
15:15
guess uh
15:17
$1,500 economy class during economy
15:20
class R trip airfare curing language
15:22
training slot and reimbursement of the
15:24
national health insurance fee which
15:27
means of course like you don't get that
15:29
for other
15:30
scholarships so scholarship prioriti
15:33
prior prioritizes applicants from
15:35
developing countries in Asia Africa and
15:37
South America among others so keep that
15:39
in mind if you're from any of these
15:41
countries uh that might be like you
15:44
might have a better chance of getting
15:45
this there are there are not that many
15:48
recipients eight students uh but like
15:52
there aren't that many PhD students
15:54
anyway in a lot of universities so yeah
15:58
you like it is if it was I don't know
16:00
like 50 recipients for Bachelors uh you
16:04
would actually kind of have less chance
16:07
of getting
16:08
that and again no national no specific
16:12
subjects like every subject will do um
16:16
we have some eligibility criteria a
16:18
faculty member without a PhD degree in a
16:20
prominent University located in a
16:22
developing country and a nearly admitted
16:25
student so yeah um if you're a faculty
16:28
member maybe you have done your uh
16:31
master's degree but you don't have a PhD
16:34
and so you apply to this University to
16:37
do your PhD and so you can apply again
16:40
like the these might be a lot of people
16:43
see this as very restraining like very
16:46
narrow restriction not that many people
16:49
can apply for this but it's kind of from
16:53
other perspective it's a positive thing
16:55
because you can just have a very clear
16:58
goal because there won't be that many
17:00
people who are who like matches this
17:04
eligibility criteria so if you do that
17:06
which is kind of kind of a doable thing
17:08
like doing your Masters in a prominent
17:10
University in your own country which is
17:13
a developing country and then applying
17:14
to uh this specific University if it's
17:17
your dream University there won't be
17:19
that many people and there will be like
17:22
there are eight uh recipients every year
17:25
I think that's kind of like less of a um
17:29
restriction and more of an incentive to
17:33
make students more like narrowly more
17:36
focused you know you can plan for this
17:40
uh like years ahead and it will Skyrock
17:45
your chances of getting the scholarship
17:47
I believe again you can leave your
17:48
comments here and we can see the
17:50
official scholarship page it's pretty
17:52
much the same page that we've seen
17:59
it's this
18:00
one must be both a faculty member of a
18:02
major major university in a developing
18:04
country without a PhD and newly admitted
18:07
student to asend us as PhD student prior
18:10
to given yeah the same uh recipients 8
18:14
details uh this is pretty much the same
18:17
that we have um application
18:20
period any semester selection
18:24
procedure yeah it's the same application
18:26
for SPF scholarship made at the same
18:29
time uh for online application for
18:32
admission to SN us office of
18:34
administration yeah and we have the
18:38
contact information here so yeah that's
18:41
pretty much it for this one too I think
18:43
this is a really good opportunity for
18:45
people who can plan ahead maybe you are
18:47
doing your master's degree in your own
18:50
country and you want to study abroad
18:53
especially in South Korea uh you can
18:55
just apply like you can try your like
18:59
maybe get assistantship um in your own
19:02
University that you have right now after
19:04
doing your Masters and then you can like
19:07
you can apply to um sendu for your PhD
19:11
while being a faculty member there uh I
19:15
don't think there will be that many
19:17
people who do that every semester so I
19:20
think it will really really increase
19:22
your chances of getting this scholarship
19:24
which gives you a lot of uh value like a
19:27
lot of financial eight from tuition fees
19:30
which are about like maybe let's
19:34
say it could be could go up to I know
19:37
$10,000 a year you know so 3 to four
19:42
years that might be quite a lot of money
19:45
and this will also cover your this will
19:48
probably cover your um hang on you know
19:50
what actually let's
19:53
see uh let's see the cost of living in
20:02
so show me South Korea yeah there it
20:07
is
20:12
so yeah about a million and a half
20:15
without rent and let's say the
20:19
rent it's kind of about like maybe 1
20:23
million uh but you're living as a
20:25
student you will probably get like
20:27
dormatory or something that will make it
20:29
a little easier uh so yeah this will
20:32
probably be enough or close to enough to
20:35
cover your living expenses in
20:38
Soul if you take care of your finances
20:40
very well so yeah I think it's a really
20:43
really really good opportunity um I mean
20:45
if I haven't done my PhD um I would TR
20:50
like I would probably try to do this one
20:53
so yeah these are all the scholarships
20:55
that we have uh from snu and I'm saying
20:59
from snu because these are the
21:01
scholarships that this University gives
21:03
to students uh there are other
21:05
scholarships that can get from
21:06
government like government scholarships
21:09
let's see if you go to scholarships and
21:12
popular government
21:14
scholarships you can see them here
21:17
Global career
21:19
scholarships
21:21
um are they let's
21:24
see Korean government scholarships yeah
21:28
okay see those here as
21:30
well um and of course there are other um
21:34
other institutions that give funding to
21:37
um International students as well so we
21:39
have more chances uh but I would really
21:43
plan ahead and have at least close to
21:46
