Meanwhile, Gwangju University, which ranked first in the Honam-Jeju region and third nationwide in scholarships per enrolled student (2021 university information disclosure for comprehensive universities with 5,000 to 10,000 students, excluding industrial universities), is putting all its efforts into minimizing the tuition burden for new students.

Gwangju University, which announced the expansion of full scholarship recipients to provide 'full tuition exemption' for new students within the 8th income bracket of the national scholarship, plans to provide academic encouragement scholarships of 700,000 KRW to early admission successful applicants and 400,000 KRW to waitlisted successful applicants to reduce living expenses for new students.

In addition, to attract outstanding students, the university operates the Hosinmaewon Special Scholarship, which is awarded differentially based on CSAT scores. The Hosinmaewon Special Scholarship offers exceptional benefits such as full tuition exemption for four years if the average of four CSAT subjects is grade 1, 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 all applicants' academic enthusiasm.
