Korea University plans to attract a large number of foreign students from developing countries to various scholarship programs. The university will introduce its plan at its main building from 4 p.m. Tuesday inviting officials from 12 embassies in Korea.
The school will recruit a maximum of 120 students for undergraduate and graduate schools through the scholarship programs. The admission quota is 20 students from Mongolia; 20 from Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam; 30 from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh; 20 from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan; 20 from Tanzania and 10 from Nigeria.
There will be two types of scholarship programs: type A who will pay full tuition rates and type B who will cover 50 percent of their tuition fees. Type A requires an over-250 score on the computer-based TOEFL test and an over-4.0 on the GPA for college students or high school students who belong in the top 5 percent in their academic results. A letter of recommendation will also be required from their high schools.
Type B also requires computer-based TOEFL test scores over 213. College students must have academic scores over an average 3.5 points; high school students need to belong to the top 10 percent in their high school records.
Meanwhile, engineering and science schools will recruit foreign students apart from the scholarship plan. They will offer full scholarships for the first two semesters and 75 percent of tuition fees for following semesters. However students will be required to maintain an academic score of over 3.0 points to remain eligible for the scholarship.
Korea University will sign a memorandum of understanding with the countries in November and the selected students will be able to attend the school from March next year.

Wow that is an outstanding opportunity.
And to the lucky one. Please stay out of politic and focus on getting the best grade to make our country look good. The politic will always be here, but the opportunity will not. I hope you know what I am saying.
Last but not least, thank to the Korean people for their generosity.
GOOD LUCK YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS. DO YOUR BEST.
