hello everyone welcome back to my third video and today i will talk about how to make sure 100 you can get into a Korea university and first let me tell you about my journey from 2018 to to 2020 when i got the scholarship so it took me two years first in 2018 i decided that i want to study abroad in korea but that time i also like many of you guys i don't have much information and knowledge about how to study in korea and how to get the scholarship a friend in kotra- my company told me about the kgsp scholarship so i just tried with kgsp and i also wanted to study in seoul national university so i apply so national university also and i came to the website and searched and they have a lot of scholarships so i apply kgsp and seoul national university with a silkroad scholarship Silkroad scholarship is scholarship for i think asian students five asian students to study in seoul national university so i tried that and the good thing is i heard from other people in seoul national university that if you apply for one scholarship and you fail as long as you get the admission they will send an email to you and suggest other scholarship for applications so i think you can first try to apply the university first and then they can suggest you other scholarships if they have come back to my story so i applied kgsp and i failed from the first round in 2019 i think the result came out in May or in the beginning of April i don't remember how but i got another information that there's POSCO scholarship for international studies student that was my major so i think it's good to apply for this and POSCO is the scholarship from POSCO company and they support the scholarship for 30 asian students to study in international studies so i applied for that but the difference is POSCO scholarship requires you to apply for the university separately it means that if you get the scholarship and if you get the admission to another university then you can go to korea but if you get the scholarship and no university accepts you then you cannot go to korea so i applied for POSCO and i chose three options: Korea, Yonsei, and Sogang because that time the deadline for Seoul National University finished already so i applied for Posco and i came to the second round i went to the interview and there were 12 people and i think they take three or four so i failed the interview but after i see the list of people who passed i talked to them and saw their profile most of them study Phd or they are very talented so i understand how i failed come back to the application although i failed POSCO, i still applied for Yonsei and Sogang to keep the deadline so i applied and i think i took the interview with both Yonsei and Sogang and then i passed and they gave me the scholarship for tuition fee only that time i was thinking a lot but i had a good job and i had a good life in Vietnam i think it's not worthy to abandon everything and go to korea and have to pay for my living expense because it's super expensive in korea and i think i have to use all my savings for two years study in korea and even it's not enough i think i can try one more year and because i passed Yonsei and Sogang i can try one more year and if i still fail the scholarship again then that time i will go and pay by myself that was my thinking because we can defer the admission for one year so for the next year 2020 even i fail the scholarship i still can go to Yonsei and Sogang because i passed it already i want to talk to you about the fee also so for kgsp, it was free and for POSCO scholarship, it was free i only need to pay the fee for translating the documents and that kind of fee however for applying the university you have to pay 80$ for each university for the application fee so for three universities i had to pay 240 dollars and also for sending the document to korea i don't know about now- current situation because it's Covid-19 time now so maybe you don't need to send the document to the university but back then i needed to send the document to 3 universities and each sending cost me 70 dollars so yeah it cost me 500 dollars just for application fee and sending the document to korea and other fee also so i think i spent around on 1000$ for application that year because i needed to take IELTS (250$) and TOPIK exam and other fees so i think it was around 1000 dollars for application so that's why i told you in the previous video that if you don't have money it's very difficult to apply for scholarship because it requires to pay some certain fee at least so what i want to say to you is you see my journey and you see how i made a lot of applications to various university and scholarship because in that way i can pass at least one so in my case even in 2020 if i cannot pass KGSP then i still can go to Yonsei or Sogang so it's like having some insurance so at least you can make your dream come true so i will introduce to you some scholarship that you can apply for first i think the best scholarship is KGSP because KGSP is the government scholarship and they give you all the living expense, tuition fee, air ticket and insurance and one good thing is kgsp gives a lot of bonus also and also have the orientation, and the community for kgsp scholars and also one good thing is if you want to work in Korea after graduation or if you want to make the working visa or want to make the Korean citizens then you get bonus point for that (during appliaction for visa) they have the system of points and if you got the kgsp scholarship then you get bonus points for that and um i also heard that if you're a kgsp student you can make the working visa easier than other students so it's easier for you to stay in korea if you get the kgsp scholarship so my first advice is kgsp second is the government's scholarship so it can be other Korean government scholarships such as: KOICA or AMA maybe and you can check your country scholarship also China, Vietnam have the scholarship for students for example i know one brother who goes to korea by the 911 scholarship but i think most government scholarship for students are for teachers or professors at school to study in korea, or government officers for example the KOICA is for government officers to study in korea so for example, me- i cannot apply for other government scholarship (like this) and many of you also so i think the third option is to apply for company scholarship for example POSCO, Daewoong and other companies there are a lot of companies who give scholarships for students and they also give living expense, tuition fee, airplane tickets and a lot of other things for the money is the same with kgsp and some companies also give the internship also so i think it's also very good one and you can have a chance to work in the company in the summer or winter vacation also for example me- i tried kgsp and company scholarship already, right? but please check it because they don't give to many students and you must check whether the company gives scholarship for your nationality or not and the fourth is the university's scholarship for example Seoul National University has a lot of scholarships for students also tuition fee and living expense such as Silkroad and GFSF i think Seoul National University maybe has the most scholarships in korea it's my thinking i'm not sure but we have a lot i think you should try to reach some state university for example, Seoul National University or Busan or that kind of national university because i applied for Yonsei and Sogang but they don't give scholarship with living expense only tuition fee but for some universities like Seoul National University they give the living expense also the same amount with kgsp and even the Silkroad and Daewoong Scholarship in Seoul National University, they give the air ticket also. For KAIST, they have the MBA scholarship for science and global that one was very interesting i also intended to apply for that in 2020 but then i passed kgsp so i didn't apply any more so in 2020 i applied kgsp again and my thinking was if i fail the kgsp then i will apply the KAIST's scholarship and also apply for POSCO and try every scholarship again and if i fail then i will go to Sogang or Yonsei for studying because i deferred the admission for one year that was my thinking so that's why i think in 2020, my feeling and confidence were much better because i know that i can go to korea, at least, just i have less money so i think it's also a good way and good strategy for you to make a lot of application to various university and scholarships so that you can make sure at least you pass one, like me.
the fifth is the professor's scholarship i put it the fifth because this one, we have to work in the laboratory so this is more suitable for science or engineer or that kind of major that you can work in the laboratory sometimes you will have more money, more allowance than other scholarships but you have to work full time in the laboratory and sometimes working in the vacation also but i think it's not a disadvantage of course not working and having money is a good thing but working in the lab, you can earn a lot of experience and you can write a lot of paper and submit it to the journal so it's very good for your research career and the professor's scholarship, normally they will give you a monthly allowance and the tuition fee the only thing is you have to spend a lot of time on the lab The last one is applied to university and then wait for the admission and their suggestion for scholarship normally if you get admission then they will try to give you some kind of scholarships full scholarship or tuition fee 100%, 75%, 50% or 25% and this depends on your profile in this case you can work part-time in Korea and get money for your studying working part-time in korea, i think it's not too much difficult as long as you know the basic korean level then you can find work in restaurant or convenience store at least of course it's not that easy but i think for some countries, for example, there are a lot of Vietnamese restaurant in Korea so i think we can make money somehow and after you go to korea you still can apply for some scholarships like KB scholarship or Daewoong scholarship, also other companies are giving scholarships for you but mostly they require korean level 5 or above so if you want to get the scholarship after you go to korea i think the good way is to learn korean very well and also there are a lot of universities who give scholarship if you have Korean level 5 or 6 so i think knowing korean also is the good strategy to get the 100% tuition fee scholarship about working in korea it is not that easy to find a job but it's not impossible to find and i know that a lot of other students have more money than kgsp students because they work part-time for kgsp students we cannot work part-time in the semester and the basic salary for working part-time in here is 10$ for an hour my advice is prepare the best profile for you try to learn english well, try to learn korean well and get the certificates and then it depends on the situation and how confident you are and how much money you have but you can try to apply for as many universities and as many scholarships as you can and try the best for the result so in that way you can make sure 100% you can pass at least one to go to Korea and even your profile is not enough you can try to find the university that does not require high gpa so you can try to apply them so in the next video i will tell you about how to do the interview thank you for watching my video today I am sorry for late uploading. I have recorded a lot of videos since March but I was not satisfied with the quality. So I could not upload earlier.
The video today is the 4th record. I live in dorm so it is difficult to find a good background, and due to Covid-19, it is difficult to take the videos outside. This video is even taken on Jeju island during my trip… but there was someone quarreling outside.
Today’s video is taken while my friend is cooking, so there might be some noise. There are also mistakes about time in my speech, so I correct it in the subtitles. I don’t know why I was so absent-minded T_T I hope you understand for my amateur video… I will try to make better and better ones… And also I receive a lot of messages on instagram and Facebook.
I will answer every single one. But I also hope you understand that I have a lot of messages and other things I need to do for my life, so I can’t reply fast. Thank you a lot for supporting my channel.
I will work hard and hope that my channel can be your motivation.
