0:01
s Yung one so let me show you you can
0:03
just go to Global scholarships and type
0:06
in song Yung one uh click on the
0:07
University so this is uh one of the best
0:10
universities in South Korea uh it's a
0:12
really good University I think it was
0:13
like um in top 100 in World at some
0:17
point I'm not sure about now so it's in
0:20
so has about 25,000 students seven
0:23
scholarships uh these are the
0:24
scholarships that are given by the
0:25
university there are also external
0:27
scholarships we're going to see those
0:28
too and and we have admissions
0:31
information here we have admission
0:32
deadlines here as you can see there are
0:34
different rounds and the tuition feeds
0:36
about like hang on by the way uh let me
0:39
yes stay about like $8,000
0:41
$10,000 uh that range uh and then we
0:44
have scholarships so let me show you
0:47
what it looks like what the university
0:48
looks like again
0:50
Soul uh is kind of expensive especially
0:54
when it comes to
0:55
accommodation so this is by the way like
0:58
about 600 year years old this University
1:01
is um not this building obviously uh so
1:05
like it's a very old University but it
1:07
like it kind of recently made into it
1:10
was made into a college so yeah if you
1:12
want to study in uh South Korea it's a
1:15
really really good University as you can
1:17
see has a lot of um a lot of
1:21
scholarships but as you can see it is
1:24
kind of expensive in terms of both um
1:27
both both tuition now tuition like
1:29
$8,000 $10,000 is way affordable than a
1:33
lot of other places uh in for example
1:35
United States Canada Australia uh but in
1:39
terms of like Asia when compared to like
1:42
most universities in uh Japan China
1:44
Taiwan or even Korea uh it's on the
1:46
higher end uh like
1:48
$10,000 so yeah it's both expensive in
1:51
that way but also uh you're going to be
1:54
living in Soul so it is also expensive
1:57
like your living costs will be high uh
1:59
at think it's about like they estimate
2:01
your accommodation to be about 600 to
2:04
700 uh uh the university estimates that
2:09
so it's great that it has uh multiple uh
2:11
scholarships and we're going to see
2:13
those but amen uh first of all how would
2:15
you like to like uh kick off uh with
2:18
your opinions uh on the University
2:21
perhaps about in general studying in
2:24
South Korea uh what do you have to say
2:26
so studying in South Korea is probably
2:30
something we recommend regularly
2:32
whenever it comes up whenever there are
2:33
questions about it whenever there are
2:35
questions about what countries to go to
2:38
if you want to study abroad um South
2:40
Korea is one of those countries that is
2:44
undeniably a great destination for most
2:47
International students not only because
2:50
of the quality of education but also
2:53
because of the scholarships that Korean
2:56
universities offer there are many many
3:00
uh scholarships that are offer offered
3:02
just on the basis of your language
3:04
proficiency exam which is something we
3:06
don't find in many countries probably
3:09
South Korea is the biggest country when
3:11
it comes to that so the scholarships can
3:14
go up to full tuition just because you
3:16
have a high score on your eyelets tofo
3:19
or any accepted exam by the
3:22
university same thing for the topic exam
3:25
if you can speak Korean the biggest
3:28
probably the biggest SCH scholarship
3:30
that is offered by the Korean government
3:33
is the global Korea scholarships which
3:36
we talk about almost every week as well
3:39
it's a fully funded scholarship that you
3:41
can either pursue through universities
3:44
or through the embassy of South Korea in
3:46
your own country many universities in
3:49
South Korea are high ranked they are all
3:52
within well well not all but the top
3:55
ones are uh within the top 100 in the
3:58
world which just speaks volumes about
4:00
the country's investment in education I
4:02
think that many of the top universities
4:05
are even harder for Korean students to
4:08
get into so many many universities are
4:11
compared to the biggest universities in
4:14
the United States or the UK so they're
4:17
they have the same the same position as
4:21
say the Russell group in the UK for
4:23
example so so it is really really hard
4:26
to get into them and for an
4:28
international student to get into those
4:30
is is a really big deal yeah so it's a
4:33
country that values education it's a a
4:35
great country to live in regardless of
4:38
the University we're going to tackle uh
4:40
it's always going to be a good
4:43
University good scholarships and we're
4:45
going to see that with this particular
4:47
one okay thanks a lot so yeah again uh
4:50
this is a school guys it's it's a really
4:52
good University now in terms of
4:55
scholarships we have a couple of them
4:57
for undergraduates and then about three
5:00
four graduates from this University and
5:02
then we have external scholarships one
5:04
of them is is a global career
5:06
scholarship they're government
5:07
scholarship which uh we have made a
5:10
tutorial video application tutorial but
5:12
it was for graduate students application
5:14
tutorial for undergraduate is also
5:17
upcoming possibly in a couple of weeks
5:19
um we have other ones as well we're
5:21
going to see those but first let's start
5:23
with undergraduate scholarships so we
5:25
have skku Global leader scholarship both
5:28
both type A and type B so basically the
5:32
difference is that um type A is for
5:35
people from countries that receive
5:37
official development assistance from
5:40
oecd uh that have fewer than three
5:42
students enrolled in skku so uh
5:45
basically these countries these are
5:47
nationalities that are eligible for this
5:49
one this is a partial funding
5:50
scholarship meaning meaning it covers uh
5:53
just like 50% of tuition still leaves a
5:56
lot of uh financial burden to carry uh
5:59
but if you want to study in this
6:01
University uh this will this will still
6:04
go a long way since like uh this might
6:07
mean about $5,000 every year so yeah
6:10
this is the scholarship uh this is the
6:12
eligibility criteria again uh from a
6:15
country that is uh receiving official
6:17
development assistance from oecd this is
6:19
the application procedure um which is as
6:22
you can see you don't have to apply
6:25
separately for this you apply to the
6:27
university with have the deadlines here
6:29
again cannot stress this enough uh just
6:31
like if you have any questions about
6:32
this scholarship just leave it here and
6:34
he will tackle that for you no problem
6:37
so other than that you can click on
6:39
official scholarship page to see more
6:41
about this University but before that we
6:43
also have a type B of the same
6:45
scholarship which is again a 50% uh
6:48
tuition fee discount now what is the
6:50
difference between a and b so B is for
6:53
all nationalities but you have to be an
6:55
award winner of an international
6:57
mathematics science or informatics
7:00
Olympiad or a related field achieved
7:02
during your high school years grades 10
7:05
to 12 so basically this pretty much the
7:08
same scholarship even the application is
7:11
the same you don't have to apply for the
7:13
scholarship it's just 50% tuition
7:15
discount the only difference is that to
7:17
get this one you need to be from a
7:20
country that receives official
7:22
development assistance fromd to get this
7:24
one does your nationality does not
7:27
matter uh but you need to be an award
7:29
winner of these uh you can get more
7:31
information from the University so these
7:33
were the first two um these are not
7:36
amazing scholarships uh compared to
7:38
other uh scholarships that we're going
7:40
to see in a second so uh we have two
7:43
more the first is Samsung Global song
7:46
scholarship for foreign students uh so
7:48
this is full tuition but it can go up to
7:51
um full funding this is the most
7:53
comprehensive and generous scholarship
7:55
this that this university has this is
7:57
for Bachelors usually you don't see a
8:00
lot of very generous full funding
8:03
scholarships uh for Bachelors eligible
8:06
nationalities all nationalities there
8:07
are no specific subjects the deadline is
8:10
passed though so what it covers it
8:12
covers up to this by the way there are
8:14
like uh lower like lower ranges of this
8:18
scholarship that covers less than this
8:20
but at top it covers 100% of tuition and
8:22
entrance fees 570,000 uh South Korean
8:26
wands per month which wouldn't be enough
8:29
to cover maybe like it would cover 50%
8:32
of your uh living costs priority
8:35
dormatory assignment full coverage of
8:37
dormatory fees so your dormitory which
8:40
again would be about
8:42
$600 $700 could be covered for by this
8:46
and participation in an exclusive C
8:48
counseling program and a one-on-one
8:51
monitoring program with an expert in the
8:52
field you choose so yeah as Aman said
8:55
they really value education and then we
8:57
have the application procedure here and
8:59
we have the deadlines here we made a
9:01
video on this you can see that
9:03
separately by just clicking here and
9:05
watching that as you can see this is a
9:07
very popular scholarship and this is 26
9:10
questions and 26 Answers by the way as I
9:13
said every single question is answered I
9:15
don't know how he does it somehow he
9:18
finds time and get all the questions so
9:21
you can click here to go and see the
9:23
scholarship from uh the university we're
9:26
going to say that there are a couple of
9:27
scholarships here admission SCH ships
9:29
we're going to see this uh we have one
9:31
Merit based scholarship but this is uh
9:34
not for newcomers this is from 2 to 8th
9:36
semester and this is the one we were
9:38
talking about Samsung Global sunun
9:40
scholarship for foreign students so we
9:41
have a and b benefits so nomination is
9:45
pretty much the same will be held among
9:47
remarkable freshman interview may be
9:49
held if needed nomination result will be
9:51
notified individually so basically you
9:53
do not apply for this scholarship
9:55
separately you go to the university you
9:57
start your education and then they kind
10:00
of consider you okay this this student
10:03
is great so let's give them this
10:04
scholarship uh so as you can see 4 A and
10:07
B it is kind of the same eligibility
10:10
criteria so if you get the B1 full full
10:13
dues for four academic years so your
10:15
tutions are paid uh but if you get A1
10:17
full dues for four academic years and
10:20
then living expenses priority blah blah
10:23
blah extensive so even if you do not get
10:26
the full scholarship there is also a
10:28
full tuition section of this scholarship
10:31
so it's a great scholarship usually
10:32
don't find this generous scholarships um
10:37
for Bachelors so yeah this is the one
10:39
and then we have admission scholarships
10:41
again this is full tuition all
10:43
nationalities pretty much the same past
10:45
deadline it covers your 10% to 100% of
10:49
your tuition fees and you just need to

10:53
information from here there's also no
10:56
application needed for this one too um
10:58

11:40
you're really good like great you also
11:42

11:45
monitoring and your uh living expenses
11:48
so this was the scholarships for
11:51
undergraduates again so these two um
11:54
were one for people uh from countries uh
11:57
receiving assistance development
11:59
assistant from OCD o uh one is from for
12:03
people uh who have received Awards you
12:05
can see that basically these are kind of
12:08
uh part of the same group of
12:10
scholarships like uh if your admission
12:13
is good you'll get admission
12:14
scholarships if it's great you will get
12:16
either full tuition or full funding from
12:18
Samsung Global s scholarship for foreign
12:21
students so yeah these are the four
12:23
scholarships basically and then we have
12:25
graduate scholarships we have three of
12:27
those uh graduate school affiliated
12:29
scholarships admission scholarships and
12:31
stem scholarships so graduate school
12:33
affiliated
12:37
scholarships uh and then we have
12:38
admission scholarship which also we can
12:40
see here pretty much the same 170 50 25
12:44
or 10% of admission fee and tuition for
12:47
the first semester International
12:48
students accepted to Humanities social
12:50
sciences or art departments and selected
12:53
based on the admissions evaluation
12:54
result so yeah this is not for stem but
12:58
also we have a stem scholarship which
13:00
we're going to see in a second yeah this
13:02
is basically the information uh because
13:04
I'm showing you showing this to you
13:06
because sometimes like Global
13:07
scholarships get some of the information
13:09
not just from the University scholarship
13:11
page but like their other Pages as well
13:14
which also always helps like if you're
13:16
if you're looking for an information
13:17
from a university in Asia let's say or
13:20
from any country that speaks like uh any
13:23
other language you can just go and look
13:25
at their pages in English they usually
13:28
have those but it also really helps to
13:30
see the page in its native language
13:32
using like translation Google translate
13:34
or something like that because that
13:36
information is usually updated more
13:38
recently so yeah and sometimes like
13:40
Global scholarships also does that so we
13:42
can get more information here than you
13:44
can get from the University in English
13:46
so yeah not much of a difference here
13:48
eligibility criteria application
13:50
procedure deadlines blah blah blah
13:52
pretty much the same so this is an
13:54
admission scholarship like the first one
13:55
we've seen but this is specifically for
13:58
graduate students and then we have again
14:00
as I said a stem scholarship engineering
14:02
and medicine all nationalities April 5
14:05
it is still open up to 100% of tuition
14:07
fees uh
14:09
600,000 South Green wands as initial
14:11
settlement fund extra scholarships
14:13
during the research semester for PhD
14:16
students so we have stem scholarships
14:18
eligibility criteria here and incoming
14:20
International Masters and pH master or
14:22
PhD students enrolling programs for
14:24
Natural Sciences engineering or medical
14:27
and then we have procedure here here so
14:30
this needs unlike the other ones a
14:33
separate application you can get more
14:35
information from here recommendation
14:37
from advising Professor blah blah blah
14:39
we have the deadlines here here's the
14:41
one candidate selected international
14:43
student accepted to Natural Sciences
14:45
engineering or medical departments with
14:47
qualifications and receive
14:48
recommendations from advising professors
14:51
amount depends on the result of each
14:53
Department's evaluation up to 100% of
14:55
tuition PhD student can be awarded with
14:57
extra scholarship for the research
14:59
enrollment and we have an initial
15:01
settlement fund so stem scholarship
15:03
continuation requirement recommendation
15:05
of the advising Professor each semester
15:07
so yeah basically if you are studying uh
15:10
stem you have a research and if that
15:12
research is like deemed important uh you
15:16
can get like this can go up to full
15:18
tuition with like settlement fund
15:20
tuitions and like extra financial aid
15:23
maybe stiped blah blah blah so yeah this
15:26
is a really good scholarship so yeah
15:28
that was the last uh graduate
15:30
scholarship that this university has now
15:32
we're going to talk about external
15:33
scholarships um shortly but first Aman I
15:37
would like to have your opinion on the
15:39
scholarships in this University this
15:41
particular University is uh quite
15:44
generous with the scholarships for
15:47
undergraduate less so for undergraduate
15:49
students but for the most part for uh
15:51
graduate students uh the the
15:54
scholarships are quite uh generous I
15:56
don't think there is anything that that
15:59
stands out when it comes to these
16:00
scholarships they are very standard they
16:02
either cover tuition fees and for the
16:05
Samsung Global sunin scholarship for
16:08
forign students it covers a little bit
16:10
more than that so it covers a monthly
16:12
stipend accommodation fees and it's
16:15
probably the only scholarship that
16:18
covers that much yeah but for the most
16:20
part I think it's a university that is
16:23
worth applying to worth considering when
16:25
you or if you want to study in South
16:28
Korea
16:29
yeah so up to full tuition is kind of it
16:32
is generous for this scholarship um when
16:35
you consider that it's a kind of like a
16:37
high high ranking University that has a
16:41
kind of like an unusually high tuition
16:43
fee for South Korea so like that that
16:45
goes a long way and then we have
16:47
external scholarships we have Global
16:49
Korea scholarship we have posco Asia
16:51
Fellowship we have Samsung Global Hub
16:54
scholarships and we have Global
16:55
scholarships.com $3,000 scholarship for
16:58
international students this is as you
17:00
probably guessed given by global
17:02
scholarships our own platform um you can
17:03
get more information by clicking on this
17:05
so I'm not going to go into a lot of
17:07
detail for a lot of these scholarships
17:10
because uh like they're not specific to
17:13
this University they are like external
17:15
scholarships so the first one is
17:17
obviously Global career scholarship is
17:20
the most uh popular scholarship I would
17:22
say in South Korea it is one of the most
17:24
popular government scholarships you can
17:26
get more information through here by by
17:29
coming here and seeing like clicking on
17:31
South Korea so it is offered to both
17:33
bachelor's Masters and PhD it is offered
17:36
by the government there are eligible
17:38
countries there are a lot of eligible
17:40
countries and all of these countries by
17:41
the way have their own kodas and those
17:44
change based on the institution you want
17:46
to study in and the application track
17:49
you want to uh go through basically
17:51
these go have like Embassy track you can
17:53
apply through embassies or you can apply
17:55
to direct directly to universities
17:57
seeing their coda do so yeah it's full
18:00
funding for Masters 3 years for PhD four
18:03
years yeah application deadline varies
18:05
by institution basically if you want to
18:07
get more information about like General
18:09
deadlines uh you can look at again we
18:12
have made a an application tutorial for
18:15
um graduate students I wanted to do that
18:17
first because like the application
18:19
period was still open but we're going to
18:21
also do another tutorial for uh
18:23
undergraduate application anyway it
18:25
covers tuition fees airplane tickets
18:27
living sement health insurance and
18:29
research funding if you are a research
18:31
student you need to be from eligible
18:33
countries they have like list of those
18:36
holding the required degree students
18:38
with a GPA of 80% or higher or in the
18:41
top 20% of their class under the age of
18:43
40 with the exception of current
18:45
academic professors from official
18:47
development assistance if they are under
