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 - 2027 GKS-U allocates 156 embassy-track and 130 university-track places (286 total); Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi and Gulf applicants apply via their local Korean embassy or a GKS university.
What the award is
Korean Government fully funded scholarship for a bachelor's degree, covering about 1 year of Korean-language study plus a 4-year undergraduate programme. The official 2027 GKS-U application guidelines were announced on studyinkorea.go.kr in September 2026, so this round is live; undergraduate applications are handled by embassies/universities per the attached guidelines. Benefits include full tuition, a monthly living allowance, round-trip airfare, Korean-language training and a settlement allowance. The precise closing date is only in the downloadable guidelines (not printed on the page), so no date is asserted here.

The official "2027 Global Korea Scholarship for Undergraduate Degrees" notice (studyinkorea.go.kr, 9 September 2026) prints no closing date and refers applicants to the attached guidelines ("For detailed information on application deadlines ... refer to the attached Application Guidelines"), while the schedule page gives Embassy Track: September and University Track: September - November with screening October - December and final results in December, so the embassy round for 2027 entry has already passed and no earliest closing date among Pakistan/India/Bangladesh/UAE/Qatar/Saudi Arabia/Oman is published on the funder page - https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/gksNoticeRead.do?bbsId=BBSMSTR_000000000461&nttId=4522 and https://www.studyinkorea.go.kr/en/plan/scholarship.do (checked 30 October 2026).
