SNU offers a variety of scholarship programs for foreign students. More than 50% of international students are partially or entirely exempt from tuition fees. SNU scholarship programs are mostly merit-based, but the University applies more generous criteria for international student. Internal scholarships are awarded each semester, and external scholarships are generally provided until graduation if all requirements are continually satisfied.
The scholarship programs available to international students currently attending SNU are
outlined below. For information on scholarships for prospective undergraduate/graduate students, see our admissions information pages.

| Scholarships for Undergraduates: Internal Scholarships (University Scholarships) |
There are three types of internal scholarships; Tuition Grants for Overseas Students, the Superior Academic Performance Scholarship, and the Work-Study Scholarship. The recipients of the two former scholarships may be partially or totally exempted from tuition and admission fees, whereas for a recipient of the Work-Study Scholarship, money is directly deposited into the recipient’s personal bank account each month.
These scholarship programs provide funds for the duration of one semester, and the application period is mid-November for the spring semester, and the end of May for the fall semester. Exact dates for application to each scholarship program are notified at the beginning of each semester on the SNU website. |
| Tuition Grants for Overseas Students |
Undergraduate students with a GPA of 2.7 or above for the preceding semester are eligible for this scholarship program. Applications for this scholarship are accepted at the Office of International Affairs (OIA), and scholarship recipients are exempt from tuition fees for the following semester. If a recipient stays out of university without registering the recipient will be revoked of his or her scholarship privileges. While enrolled, undergraduates may be awarded this scholarship for 8 semesters at most. Recipients on the national fund or at the government’s invitation obtain a full tuition waiver, while other students are only partially exempt from paying tuition fees. |
|
| Superior Academic Performance Scholarship |
This scholarship is awarded to undergraduate students with excellent academic performance records. Students who have completed at least four semesters of study and who have earned an overall GPA of 3.6 or above may apply for this scholarship.
In the effort to provide balanced opportunities, only one undergraduate is selected from each department.
If there is no student satisfying these requirements in a department, the applicant with the highest academic record may be selected. However, this scholarship is awarded to students who are not receiving any other concurrent scholarships. SNU issues a Scholarship Certificate for the recipients of this scholarship program. For exact dates of the application period, please check the website of your department. |
| Work-Study Scholarship |
|
This scholarship is awarded to undergraduate students in need of extra financial support. Recipients are selected each semester through application procedures overseen by each department. Recipients are required to work 40 to 60 hours every month as an assistant at various institutions on campus, such as an administration office or library, which guarantees 6,000 won per hour, and approximately 300,000 won per month. The money is paid directly to the recipient’s personal bank account. Unlike other scholarships, students receiving other internal scholarships may apply for this program. |
