Korean Government Scholarship Program

The Korean Government Scholarship Program, or KGSP, is an academic scholarship funded and managed by the National Institute for International Education (NIIED), a branch of the Ministry of Education in South Korea. This scholarship provides non-Korean scholars (or overseas Koreans who fulfil certain criteria) with the funding and opportunity to conduct undergraduate or postgraduate level studies in South Korea after completing one year of intensive Korean language studies. Since its conception in 1967, over 3,000 students from 148 countries have successfully completed the scholarship program.

And another Korean Government Scholarship Program, Korea Student Aid Foundation or KOSAF is an executive quasi-governmental institution under the Ministry of Education that provides student funds to university students. It is a foundation created by the government to reduce the burden on university students even a little during the Lee Myung Bak administration, where half-price tuition demonstrations continued.
