| For currently
attending graduate students |
More than 47 percent of the graduate students at Seoul National University are honored with scholarships. Especially for students studying Science or Engineering, there is a special national scholarship program called National Science & Engineering Grants, which financially supports the students demonstrating academic excellence or excellence in research in the field of Science and Engineering. However, this scholarship applies to the students who currently hold Korean citizenship, and Foreign Students Scholarships are applied for foreign graduate students at SNU.

| Lecture & Research
Support Scholarship |
| Graduate students who exhibit excellence
in an academic or research field may be awarded this scholarship
by being recommended by their academic advisors. Each professor
is able to recommend one student amongst the current graduate
students in a master’s or doctoral program, or a researcher
who has completed either a master’s or doctoral program, but
has yet to receive their degree. For graduate students in a
master’s program, the full tuition fee is waived, and a stipend
of 200,000 won per month is paid directly to the student’s personal
bank account. For doctoral students, the conditions are the
same except the recipients are given a monthly stipend of 300,000
won. If a professor recommends a researcher who has completed
a master’s course without gaining a degree, the researcher is
given 500,000 won per month, and for a researcher who has completed
a doctoral program without gaining a degree, 900,000 won is
paid to the recipient every month. This scholarship is awarded
for 2 academic years maximum. |
