[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Silla University was recently selected as a ‘Government Scholarship Program for Foreign Students (GKS) Study University’ organized by the National Institute for International Education under the Ministry of Education.

The Government Scholarship Program for Foreign Students aims to build an international network and foster global talent by inviting outstanding talents from around the world to support degree programs at domestic universities (graduate schools) equipped with internationalization capabilities.

Silla University was recognized for its capabilities in educating and managing international students and will select foreign scholarship students and operate bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs for three years from 2023 to 2025.

Foreign scholarship students participating in the program will receive government funding covering tuition, round-trip airfare, living expenses, health insurance, settlement support, and return support.

Since 2010, Silla University has been selected as a Government Scholarship Program for Foreign Students study university and has produced about 90 foreign scholarship students in bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs to date.

Since 2008, it has also been selected as a Korean language training institution for government-sponsored foreign students, providing Korean language education to about 400 students.

The International Exchange Team at Silla University plans to support the stable settlement and university life of foreign scholarship students by leveraging its accumulated know-how in attracting and managing international students, including academic management, Korean culture education, accompanying hospital visits, support for purchasing daily necessities, psychological counseling, and career guidance.

Kim Hyung-geun, Director of the International Exchange Office, said, “I am pleased that Silla University’s excellent internationalization capabilities have been widely recognized by recently being selected as an Education Internationalization Competency Certified University and a Government Scholarship Program for Foreign Students (GKS) study university. We will continue to strive to attract outstanding foreign talents and provide systematic student management and high-quality education to enhance our internationalization capabilities.”

This year, Silla University achieved the milestone of being selected as an Education Internationalization Competency Certified University for eight consecutive years and operates various global competency enhancement projects for international educational cooperation, attracting, and supporting foreign students.

In December 2021, it was the only university operating a Korean language training program to be selected as a recipient of the Institutional Merit Award from the National Institute for International Education.
