Dong-A University Produces 28 GKS Scholars... Ranked No.1 Among Private Universities in Busan and Gyeongnam Region

Dong-A University produced 28 government-sponsored graduate students selected for the 2023 second semester, marking the largest number among private universities in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions. This is also the second highest figure among private universities in provincial areas nationwide.

The government-sponsored scholarship program, GKS (Global Korea Scholarship), is implemented to provide foreign students with opportunities to study at higher education institutions in South Korea, promoting international educational exchange and fostering goodwill between countries.

The GKS program consists of two selection tracks: university admission and overseas diplomatic mission selection. Selected foreign scholarship students receive full government funding covering tuition, airfare, living expenses, insurance, and settlement support for their studies.

The program not only enables the recruitment of outstanding international students worldwide but also facilitates attracting students from less common regions such as Africa and South America, contributing to campus internationalization.
