    Hi i have a little question , i hope i'm not late and you will see this comment . I am still new to all these universities and stuff , and i'm still young but i care a lot about my future and i want to study in korea ! I've watched many videos about gks but i still don't understand , is it free to study there ? like do you need to pay the university every month / semester or is korea paying the schoolarship for you ? Please answer i am very confused . And thank you for this very nice video :)

      There are a lot of scholarships in Korea. But if you wont apply to those, you will need to pay.
      Gks is a fully funded scholarship. The government of Korea pays your tuition, gives you monthly allowance to live and survive in Korea

    Hi, I am selected as one of the GKS scholar this year. I had a question, isn't health insurance supposed to be paid by NIIED?? It is written on their guidelines that they are going to give money for the insurance which is seperate from 1M won.

    • @justintime08
      @justintime08  2 роки тому +4

      Hi! Yes it is part of the money from NIIED. What wi happen is, when you completed 6 months in korea, that will be the start for the NHIS insurance. Prior to that, scholars are secured under private insurance companies.
      Afted 6 months, you will pay 55k won per month then NIIED will reimbure the money before you start your graduate school

      Learning any language is a life-long process. For Korean language, it is hard if you do not practice. If you are in Korea, it will be easier to practice since you can practice will doing your daily activities here
