Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
No closing date published. This funder sets its closing date per country, or opens the call only when the cycle begins. Send us your documents and we will apply the moment your country’s window opens.
Who can apply
Yes - embassy track (General) and university track (incl. R-GKS for developing countries) both cover Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and the Gulf states; the Korean embassy or the GKS-designated university sets the country/institution deadline.
