Honam Region Scholarship Benefits Ranked No.1... 491 Students Selected in Regular Admission Groups A and B

New Students Receive Up to 4 Million Won Academic Incentive

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangju University is attracting attention with unprecedented benefits, including scholarships of up to 4 million KRW for regular admission freshmen in the 2021 academic year.

According to last year's university information disclosure analysis, Gwangju University ranked first in the Honam region and sixth nationwide (based on medium-sized universities with 5,000 to less than 10,000 enrolled students) in scholarship benefits. The university plans to significantly increase scholarships by providing academic encouragement funds ranging from 4 million KRW to 400,000 KRW depending on CSAT scores.

In addition, to support students facing difficulties due to COVID-19, the university will provide an additional 600,000 KRW academic encouragement scholarship in cash to those who pass the regular admission for the first time and 200,000 KRW to those admitted through additional admissions.

Furthermore, based on the average grade of four CSAT subjects (Korean, English, Mathematics, and one Social Studies subject), the university will exempt from full tuition for four years to up to 25% of the tuition for the admission semester. National scholarship recipients will receive up to full tuition for the semester according to their income bracket. In total, the university operates over 50 high-quality scholarship programs for freshmen and enrolled students.

Especially, various benefits have been prepared for the convenience of enrolled students, such as providing dormitories for all freshmen and operating free shuttle buses throughout the entire Gwangju city area.

Gwangju University will recruit 491 students in groups A and B for this regular admission.

The selection criteria reflect 100% CSAT scores, with subject weightings of Korean 30%, Mathematics 30%, English 25%, Social Studies (one subject) 10%, and Korean History 5%. For the CSAT type A, a 10% bonus is applied to the percentile score.

Except for some departments such as Nursing and Early Childhood Education, regular admissions will be conducted through a wide-area recruitment unit within the college range.

Freshmen admitted through the wide-area recruitment unit will be assigned to the faculty (department) they desired at the time of application upon admission.

Applications for Gwangju University's regular admission can be made through the school website, and consultations are available via KakaoPlus Gwangju University Admission Counseling and the Q&A section on the school website.
