This scholarship system for the ‘full tuition waiver’ was established with the purpose of maximizing support for new students’ academic activities amid the government’s expansion policy of national scholarships and the increasing tuition burden due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, to reduce living expenses for new students, 700,000 KRW will be additionally provided as an academic encouragement scholarship to early admission successful applicants, and 400,000 KRW to those admitted through additional rounds.

Along with this, the Hosinmaewon Special Scholarship, which is awarded differentially based on CSAT scores, will also be operated to attract outstanding students. If the average score of four CSAT subjects is in the top grade 1, recipients can receive exceptional scholarship benefits including a full tuition waiver for four years, full support for one overseas language training program selection, and up to 4 million KRW in academic encouragement scholarships.

Gwangju University operates a high-quality scholarship system to provide scholarship benefits to all new students, not only outstanding students, by awarding scholarships and academic encouragement scholarships up to CSAT grade 6.5 to motivate the academic enthusiasm of all applicants.
