from a Korean university?
Top private universities
in Korea offer up to 80% tuition scholarship.
Korean students
are demonstrating for “Half Tuition,” but private universities have frozen the
tuition. Despite tuition freeze for Korean students, they are offering lump-sum
scholarship to attract international students. Universities with more
international students receive higher scores on International Indicator, and
government offers more funding for those with higher International Indicator
scores. MEST introduced accreditation
system for attracting and managing international students last December,
but not all universities are detected.
